X suspends Iran supreme leader Khamenei’s new Hebrew account as Iran-Israel tensions escalate following missile strikes

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Khamenei on Sunday, hours after it was created. The account, tagged as @Khamenei_Heb, was taken down following a post that read, “The Zionist regime made a mistake. It erred in its calculations on Iran. We will cause it to understand what kind of strength, ability, initiative, and will the Iranian nation has.” A message on X now shows the account as suspended due to “violating X’s rules.”

A Day-Old Account Shut Down Amid Controversial Post

Ayatollah Khamenei launched the Hebrew account on Saturday night, marking a rare engagement with Israeli audiences. The account’s inaugural post, “In the name of Allah, the most merciful,” appeared shortly before the suspension. Hours later, Khamenei’s message criticizing Israel was removed, drawing no immediate response from X. While X’s rules prohibit content from “violent and hateful entities,” certain state or governmental entities are allowed exceptions, which has raised questions about X’s stance on Khamenei’s post.

Israeli Responses and Reactions on X

Following Khamenei’s initial post, ZAKA, an Israeli emergency response organization, replied with a line from the Jewish Kaddish prayer for the deceased. This response, which translates to a subtle message hinting at Khamenei’s end, underscored the mounting tensions. Khamenei’s Hebrew message was later reposted on his official English-language account, Khamenei.ir, which has over one million followers. The English post retained the same warning tone aimed at Israel.
