Under Iran’s constitution, when the Supreme Leader dies, a temporary leadership council takes over as the highest authority.
This council acts as head of state and commander-in-chief until a new leader is chosen.
It currently includes:

• • Iran’s President – Masoud Pezeshkian
  • Chief Justice – Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i
  • Senior cleric – Ayatollah Alireza Arafi
    (Some early reports included other figures, but authoritative sources list these three as the core council members.)
