DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP/UNB) — Iran's foreign minister says a new supreme leader will be chosen in 'one or two days.'

Iran's president Masoud Pezeshkian says new leadership council 'has begun its work' after killing of supreme leader.

The death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after almost 37 years in power raises paramount questions about Iran's future.

The contours of a complex succession process began to take shape the morning after Khamenei's killing in an airstrike campaign by the United States and Israel.
