ALBAWABA - After only less than two days, the X platform, owned by American businessman Elon Musk, suspended the latest Hebrew account for Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

On Saturday, Khamenei, 85, launched his first X account in the Hebrew language shortly following the Israeli attack on Iran which resulted in the killing of four Air Force members and damage to the country's air defenses.

X (formerly Twitter) shut down the Hebrew-language account of Khamenei hours after a post that contained some threats to Israel after its recent attack on Tehran.

Earlier, Khamenei met with the families of military men killed in defending Iran’s security when Israel attacked Tehran and said: "The evil of the Zionist entity in its aggression against Iran should not be exaggerated or underestimated."

He also added: "The Zionist entity has miscalculated and must be made to understand the strength, will and creativity of the Iranian youth and people."
