A tweet originally posted by Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on October 10, 2023, was re-shared on his X account on Tuesday. The original message referred to the Hamas attack, which Khamenei called "Al-Aqsa Flood," claiming Israel suffered an "irreversible defeat" militarily and in intelligence from which it could not recover. The re-sharing of this message on the third anniversary of the October 7th massacre, and following Khamenei's death, gives it a significantly different context than when it was first published days after the attack.
Iranian state television reported Khamenei's death, with the presenter reportedly breaking down in tears. Khamenei, who led Iran's regime since 1989, was known for his extreme ideology against Israel and the West, and for the violent suppression of Iranian citizens. He was considered the architect of Iran's regional influence and its support for groups like Hezbollah, and was held responsible for numerous terror attacks and the deaths of civilians worldwide.
In unrelated news, U.S. President Donald Trump stated earlier on Tuesday that Iran is "doing badly" economically, citing nearly 300% inflation and the resignation of its oil minister. He also noted that millions of barrels of oil have arrived recently, improving prices to pre-war levels.
Following Khamenei's death, Iran declared forty days of mourning and seven days of public holiday.
