Reuters reported that a high official said last Friday that the Supreme Leader Khamenei cannot be removed or replaced because his legitimacy comes from God.
Mojtaba Zolnour, a representant of Khamenei at the Revolutionary Guards told at a meeting of representatives of Khamenei in universities that the Assembly of Experts cannot remove him, because they don't appoint him but discover him.
Theoretically he could be replaced by the 86-man Assembly of Experts which approved him as successor to Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989. But the system has never been tested.
