"Regarding the recent official announcement that the Iranian Assembly of Experts has elected a new leader of the Islamic Revolution, we respect the right and choice of the Iranian people to elect their Supreme Leader. We express grave concern and strongly condemn the aggression of the United States and Israel, which, by launching an unlawful military attack against Iran, are undermining the foundations of regional peace and security and increasing instability in the international landscape."
"The spokesperson also condemned the attacks for undermining the political system and territorial integrity of a country, which is unacceptable and must be condemned and rejected by the entire world."

The statement characterized the attacks as unlawful actions that undermine regional peace, security, and international stability. North Korea also criticized the assault on Iran's political system and territorial integrity, calling for worldwide condemnation and rejection of such conduct. Additionally, North Korea reported that leader Kim Jong Un oversaw a test-firing of strategic cruise missiles from the naval destroyer Choe Hyon.
