Iran announces Khamenei body to be buried in Mashhad — successor still unclear as Assembly of Experts hit

Actor responses
Iranian state media: Khamenei will be buried in Mashhad. The succession process continues despite attempts to destroy Iran's constitutional institutions. Iran will have a new Supreme Leader.
Trump: Most of the people we had in mind to take over are dead. We may have eliminated potential successors as well. Iran's constitutional process is severely compromised.
