Iran's Top Post: Candidates Reluctant Amid Assassination Fears

• Iran expects to announce a new Supreme Leader within two days, but final contenders are reportedly unwilling to accept the post due to fears of being targeted.
• The urgency follows the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in US and Israeli attacks, with Israel warning the next leader will also be targeted.
• Mojtaba Khamenei, the late leader's son, is a strong contender, but Iranian authorities are not publicly naming candidates to avoid making them immediate targets.
• US President Donald Trump dismissed Mojtaba Khamenei, stating he wants a role in the appointment and a complete overhaul of Iran's leadership.
• Other potential candidates include Alireza Arafi, Sadeq Larijani, Hassan Khomeini, and Mohammad Mehdi Mirbagheri.
