In a major new development, it is being reported just now that Israel has struck the “Council of Experts” as they were meeting to select a new Supreme Leader.
The could include upwards of 90+ Shia Clerics.
Here is the breaking news alert from Fox News live from Israel:

Sounds like Iran’s radical Islamic Shia brain trust was just deleted.
There are conflicting reports right now about how many clerics were in the meeting and how many were killed.
Some say 88 were present and killed:
BREAKING:
Israel just struck a meeting of Iran’s Assembly of Experts while they were voting to choose the new Supreme Leader.
All 88 members have reportedly been ELIMINATED.

Others say not all 88 members were present.
In any event, it looks like a large swath of senior Iranian “clerics” have now been eliminated.
At this rate, there won’t be many left after just a couple more days.
This is proceeding far quicker than the 4 weeks President Trump initially laid out.
You’d really think these people would be a little smarter than continuing to group all their top leaders in one room, but no one ever accused these people of being geniuses.
And I have to laugh at the phrase “Council of Experts”.
Experts at what, exactly?
Experts at Hell?
Experts at Demonic Worship?
Experts at killing people?
Experts at stealing, killing and destroying?
I guess yeah, that all fits!
“Council of Experts”!
