The social media platform X has suspended an account that was posting messages in Hebrew on behalf of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The account was initially created over the weekend and was suspended shortly after it began posting, including a message referencing a common Islamic greeting: 'In the name of Allah, the Benevolent, the Most Merciful.' This action comes amid heightened tensions following Israeli airstrikes on Iran, which targeted missile manufacturing facilities, and Khamenei's comments on the situation. The account had been reinstated shortly before its suspension, having only returned a few days prior after a previous ban. In his tweets, Khamenei criticized Israel, stating that the 'Zionist regime made a mistake' and that Iran would demonstrate its capabilities in response to the attacks.
