Following the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Expediency Discernment Council has established an interim three-member leadership council to manage military and security affairs. This council includes President Masoud Pezeshkian and judiciary chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, aiming to prevent a leadership vacuum.
