A social media platform has suspended a new account representing Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for posting messages in Hebrew. The account was suspended with a note citing a violation of the platform's rules. The reason for the suspension was not immediately clear, and the platform did not provide further comments.
The suspension followed Israel's first open attack on Iran over the weekend. In response, Khamenei addressed the situation, urging for a balanced perspective on the events without explicitly calling for retaliation.
The account, which opened with a standard Islamic greeting in Hebrew, had been used by Khamenei's office for years to communicate messages in various languages.
In a related development, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard condemned Israel's attack as 'illegitimate and illegal,' emphasizing the consequences for the attackers. Additionally, Iraq has lodged a protest with the UN, accusing Israel of violating its airspace during the attack on Iran.
Iran's President vowed to respond appropriately to Israel's actions, expressing a commitment to defending the nation's rights while also highlighting the role of the U.S. in the escalating tensions.
Iran announced the death of a civilian in Israel's attack, identifying the individual and clarifying that he was not a member of the armed forces. Details about the attack and its impact are still limited.
The situation continues to evolve, with the UN Security Council convening an emergency meeting at Iran's request to address the recent developments.
