Israel's Foreign Ministry said Monday that Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is a "tyrant" like his assassinated father and will continue what it described as the Iranian "regime's brutality."

"Mojtaba Khamenei's hands are already stained with the bloodshed that defined his father's rule. Another tyrant who will continue the brutality of the Iranian regime," the ministry said, in Israel's first reaction to the selection of Mojtaba Khamenei as supreme leader following the assassination of his father on February 28 in Israeli strikes.
