Referring to Article 110 of the Constitution, Larijani explained that if the country were without a Leader, the President, the Head of the Judiciary, and one of the jurist members of the Constitutional Council—selected by the Expediency Discernment Council—would temporarily assume the duties of the Leader until the next Leader is elected.
