The foreign affairs committee of the National Assembly will hold an emergency session this week to discuss the impact from U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, a lawmaker said Monday.

The session is scheduled to take place Friday, Rep. Kim Gunn of the main opposition People Power Party told Yonhap News Agency.

The special session follows U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran that began Saturday and killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The parliamentary committee is widely expected to discuss potential impact on global oil prices, the local currency and the economy, as well as the broader security landscape and the government's response measures.

It will also likely touch on other issues, such as tariff discussions with the United States and North Korea's recent ruling party congress which signaled its unwillingness to engage in dialogue with Seoul.
