Israel strikes Qom building reportedly hosting Iran's Assembly of Experts
Mar 3rd 2026
Israeli forces struck a Qom building that Iranian and Israeli sources say was hosting Iran's Assembly of Experts to choose the next supreme leader, with Iranian media reporting the structure was flattened and no early casualties.
- Israeli sources told The Jerusalem Post the IDF targeted a building where Iran's 88-member Assembly of Experts was meeting.
- Iranian news agencies reported the building was flattened and said no injuries or deaths were reported early Tuesday.
- The strike follows Operation Roaring Lion, which Israeli statements say killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior Iranian officials earlier this week.
- The IDF says it has dropped over 2,500 bombs and struck more than 600 targets across Iran since the operation began.
- Independent verification of the Assembly meeting and casualty claims is limited and reports from Israeli and Iranian sources conflict.
