Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

Multiple sources confirm that Israel carried out airstrikes on a building where an Iranian leadership meeting was taking place, resulting in significant damage. The meeting was reportedly intended to choose Iran’s next supreme leader.

According to reports, the strikes occurred at the same time as the assembly of experts meeting, which is responsible for electing the country’s top religious and political leaders. The meeting was being held at a building in Tehran where officials were gathered to discuss the succession of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has been Iran’s supreme leader since 1989.

Details on the extent of the damage and casualties are not yet available. However, multiple news outlets have confirmed that the strikes occurred simultaneously with the meeting, suggesting a coordinated attack by Israel and the United States.

The Israeli military has not commented on the incident, but officials from both countries have declined to confirm or deny involvement in the airstrikes. The Iranian government has also issued no statement regarding the attacks.

Reports of the strikes come as tensions between Iran and Israel remain high following recent conflicts in the region.
