Iranian state media declared a period of 40 days of mourning and seven days of public holidays in the wake of Ali Khamenei's death, and an Interim Leadership Council was appointed pending the election of a new Supreme Leader. On March 7, the Assembly of Experts announced Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Ali Khamenei, as the new Supreme Leader. International observers including France, Russia, and the United Nations said that regime collapse or escalation of the fighting could occur. U.S. and Israeli officials said that the operation is a step toward regime change, while Iran has retaliated.
