The social platform X has suspended a new account of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that posted messages in Hebrew.A note on the account says it has been suspended for violating X's rules and the suspension comes hours after the account posted a message about this weekend's Israeli attack on Tehran.Before the Elon Musk-owned messaging platform blocked Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei's new account, the Iranian leader wrote in Hebrew, In the name of Allah, the most merciful, Jerusalem Post reported. After posting the message on new account, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei reposted the Hebrew post on his official English account, Khamenei.ir. This account on X (formerly Twitter) is verified and has over one million followers.
Khamenei previously had his Facebook and Instagram accounts removed by Meta over his support of Hamas after its 7 October 2023 attacks on Israel. The move follows Israel's latest attack on Iran that came on Saturday, in which Israel struck missile manufacturing facilities, surface-to-air missile arrays and other aerial capabilities. According to Major General Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), four Iranian soldiers were killed. The Saturday attack fatalities totalled 4, involving one civilian casualty as well. We do not seek war, but we will defend our country and the rights of our people. We will give a proportionate response to the aggression by the Zionist regime, IRNA quoted Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian as saying.Responding to Israeli airstrikes, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Sunday asserted that Israel's attacks on Iran should not be magnified nor downplayed and pressed the authorities to convey Iran's power to Israel. Critical of the Israeli bombing, Iran's supreme leader appealed that a global coalition must be formed, as well as a political coalition, an economic coalition, and, if necessary, a military coalition against the malicious Zionist regime that is committing the most brutal war crimes.
