North Korea backs Iran's appointment of new Supreme Leader
North Korea has expressed support for Iran’s appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s new Supreme Leader, according to state media. The leadership change follows the death of his father during recent strikes by the United States and Israel.
In an official statement, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry condemned what it described as “illegal” acts of aggression by the U.S. and Israel against Iran. The ministry emphasized that these attacks undermine global peace and contribute to regional instability.
The North Korean state news agency KCNA reported that Pyongyang respects the choice of the Iranian people and views the new leadership as a legitimate continuation of Iran’s political system. Analysts note that North Korea’s support signals alignment with Iran amid rising tensions with Western powers.
