North Korea supports Iran s choice of new supreme leader, KCNA says

On Wednesday, North Korea announced its support for the Iranian people’s selection of Mojtaba Khamenei as their new Supreme Leader. Khamenei was appointed on Monday, following the death of his father, who was killed in the first strikes on Iran by the U.S. and Israel, according to state media reports. The foreign ministry of North Korea also condemned the aggressive actions taken by the U.S. and Israel, labeling their attacks on Iran as “illegal.” These actions are harming peace and increasing global instability, as reported by KCNA, the state news agency.
