Ayatollah Khamenei's New X Account Suspended
The social media platform X on Monday suspended a new account linked to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which shared messages in Hebrew.
Early Monday, a brief note on the suspended account stated, "X suspends accounts which violate the X Rules."
The suspension occurred following Israel's first open airstrikes against Iran, in response to a ballistic missile attack by Iran against Israel on Oct. 1.
It wasn't immediately clear what the X violation was.
Khamenei said in a speech on Sunday that Israel's strikes-in response to Iran's ballistic
missile attack this month which saw about 200 cruise missiles fired - "should not be exaggerated nor downplayed," while stopping short of calling for retaliation.
The newly suspended X account, which was created on Sunday, began with a message in Hebrew that read, "In the name of God, the most merciful," a standard Islamic greeting.
The second post referred to Khamenei's speech, and was sent on his English account as: "Zionists are making a miscalculation with respect to Iran. They don't know Iran. They still haven't been able to correctly understand the power, initiative, and determination of the Iranian people."
Iran's Supreme Leader and Social Media
Khamenei's office has maintained multiple accounts for the 85-year-old supreme leader on X for years and has sent messages in a variety of languages in the past.
This is not the first time Khamenei has had social media accounts suspended.
