Key Findings

• Following an Israeli strike on Iran’s Assembly of Experts, Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of deceased Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has reportedly been chosen as the next Supreme Leader of Iran.
• The United States and Israel continued air strikes across Iran, with a heavy emphasis in and around Tehran. Israel also continued strikes against Lebanese Hezbollah, with at least 60 targets struck.
• An Israeli military spokesman claimed that 200 Iranian missile launchers have been destroyed. If true, this represents roughly half of all assessed Iranian launchers, which would almost certainly account for the rapid decrease in missile strikes.
• Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains relatively low, with most vessels sitting in the northern Persian Gulf in an attempt to avoid hostilities. However, Iran is reportedly allowing Chinese and Russian vessels to transit the Strait.
• Iran and its proxies very likely pose a threat of external attacks on the United States and countries it perceives as supporting the ongoing conflict.
