Strikes shake Iran cities as crowds rally in support of Mojtaba Khamenei

The Israeli military has said it carried out several wide-scale waves of strikes across Iran, as supporters of the Islamic Republic staged rallies to celebrate the appointment of a new supreme leader.

Mojtaba Khamenei, a hardline Shia Muslim cleric close to the powerful Revolutionary Guards, was chosen on Sunday to succeed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a strike at the start of the war with the US and Israel nine days ago.

In his first reaction to the decision, US President Donald Trump said he was "not happy".
