Majority consensus reached on Iran's next supreme leader, Mehr news reports

A majority consensus over a successor to Iran's slain ‌Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has more or less been reached, Assembly of Experts ⁠member Ayatollah Mohammadmehdi Mirbaqeri said on Sunday, according to Mehr news agency.

He said, though, that "some obstacles" need to be resolved regarding the process, according ‌to ⁠the report.

Iranian media said the body tasked with appointing Iran's supreme leader had ⁠a minor disagreement over whether their final decision must follow ⁠an in-person meeting or instead be issued ⁠without adhering to this formality.
