Iran has appointed Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country's new supreme leader following his father's death in a US-Israeli strike on Tehran. The US and Israel have expressed strong opposition to the appointment, with Israel vowing to target the new leader who is expected to maintain his father's hardline policies. The announcement comes amid escalating tensions, with Iran threatening attacks on Gulf oil facilities after multiple refineries in Tehran were struck, and retaliatory strikes reported in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Dubai and Iraq.
