Experts Assembly Oversees Leadership Transition
The Assembly of Experts, Iran's highest constitutional authority, maintains exclusive jurisdiction over the supreme leadership selection and oversight process. Elected every eight years by popular vote among clerics, this body plays critical role during transitional periods.
