Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei opens X account in Hebrew

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei opened a Hebrew X/Twitter on Saturday evening.

The only message in the Hebrew Khameini.ir account so far reads: “In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful.”

Khamenei reposted the Hebrew message on his official English account, Khamenei.ir, which has been verified and has more than a million followers.

ZAKA’s official account replied to the post with a line from the Jewish Kaddish prayer for the dead, which could be interpreted as a subtle hint that Khamenei’s end could be near.

Israel attacks Iran

This comes after Israel carried out targeted attacks numerous Iranians military sites during an operation later dubbed “Days of Repentance” on Saturday morning.

The attack came in three major waves, U.S. and Israeli officials said, and severely damaged Iran’s drone and missile production sites, according to Axios and the New York Times.

The attacks were partly a response to the Iranian attack on Israel on October 1, in which Tehran sent 180 ballistic missiles, setting off 1,800 missile sirens across the country.

Moreover, the New York Times reported on Saturday that a struggle has begun to find a successor for 85-year-old Ayatollah Khamenei, who is believed to be seriously ill.
