Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has taken aim at Israel over social media in a first-ever Hebrew-language message posted on X, formerly Twitter, as the country continues to battle with a comprehensive attack launched by Hamas over the weekend.
“Zionist Tyrants: You will never arise from your defeat on the Sabbath, the 7th of October. You brought this calamity upon yourselves,” Khamenei tweeted Tuesday, as translated from Hebrew to English.
The message followed a televised speech earlier Tuesday in which Khamenei lauded Hamas for its brazen, multi-pronged assault that has killed more than 1,000 Israelis since Saturday. He denied that Iran played a role in the operation.
U.S. and Israeli officials have said they had no evidence of a direct Iranian role in the attack, though they have noted Tehran’s longstanding support for Hamas.
Wow, that’s crazy! I can’t believe people are still using Twitter.
It’s Xitter, where X is pronounced as “sh”. And Iran is a bit behind in technology, OK?
Who writes these cringy headlines? Why would this be even remotely classified as “trolling”?
Supreme leader with le epic troll
UN. PRECEDENTED.
Well if it’s indeed the first x-post of an ayatollah in hebrew, it is, per definition, unprecedented.
That’s right, taunt the nation that just activated 300k troops & already has good reason to hate you.
I’ve seen theories that the attacks were timed and motivated to drive a wedge in the normalization talks between Saudi Arabia and Israel, which would also be a huge problem for Iran. So, yeah, seems like they would also have motive to fan those flames.
Don’t forget that usa also is there and has a tiny issue with iran…
le epic troll xD
u mad bro? (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has taken aim at Israel over social media in a first-ever Hebrew-language message posted on X, formerly Twitter, as the country continues to battle with a comprehensive attack launched by Hamas over the weekend.
The message followed a televised speech earlier Tuesday in which Khamenei lauded Hamas for its brazen, multi-pronged assault that has killed more than 1,000 Israelis since Saturday.
Then, in August 2021, Shamkhani again twice channeled Hebrew on the platform to discuss a recent conversation with his Russian counterpart regarding Afghanistan, Syria and the Persian Gulf, and to assert that Israel would be expelled from the West Bank.
While Iranian authorities have largely restricted access to X outside the use of third-party tools, a number of government officials and prominent figures continue to use the platform.
X applied a label to an English-language post by Khamenei on Saturday that stated “God willing, the cancer of the usurper Zionist regime will be eradicated at the hands of the Palestinian people and the Resistance forces throughout the region” alongside a video purporting to show a large gathering of Palestinians running in the initial stages of the Hamas attack, saying the post “violated the X rules.”
X owner Elon Musk weighed in on Sunday, saying “Khamenei’s official position is clear that the eradication of Israel is the actual goal, not just supporting Palestinians.”
