Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council on Mirdamad Street in Tehran was destroyed after being targeted in an airstrike on Monday, footage released by Iranian media showed.

The council is a powerful state body that selects the clerical member of the Interim Leadership Council and makes the final decisions on five key issues until a new Supreme Leader is elected:

1- Determining the general policies of the Islamic Republic

2- Ordering a referendum

3- Declaring war or peace

4- Dismissing the president

5- Appointing or dismissing the chief of the Joint Staff, the commander-in-chief of the IRGC, and senior military and law enforcement commanders
