State media in Iran reported that hundreds of thousands of people took part in organized rallies on Monday in support of the country's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
Those in attendance pledged allegiances to the 56-year-old, who was appointed despite US President Donald Trump saying he will not accept the appointment, and despite the threats of strikes as part of the joint US-Israeli war in Iran.
The appointment comes nine days after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in an Israeli strike.
