The official Hebrew X (formerly Twitter) account of Iran's former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was reportedly killed in February 2026, posted new propaganda on Tuesday. The post claimed that since the start of "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood" (referring to the October 7th Hamas attack), Israel has suffered an "irreversible defeat, both militarily and in terms of intelligence." The post included the date October 10, 2023, and was presented as a quote from Khamenei before his death. This indicates that the Iranian regime's propaganda mechanisms continue to use the digital channels of deceased officials to disseminate messages to a Hebrew-speaking audience, ahead of the third anniversary of the war.
Khamenei, who led Iran for nearly 37 years, was killed in a large-scale attack involving airstrikes and ground assaults on nuclear facilities and strategic targets across Iran, carried out by the United States and Israel. Following his death, his son Mojtaba Khamenei ascended to power, leading the regime to an even more hardline stance. A Wall Street Journal investigation had previously warned U.S. President Donald Trump that Khamenei's assassination would not lead to a political breakthrough or regime collapse, but rather to the rise of an even more extreme and rigid regime.
Iran announced a timeline for Khamenei's funeral ceremonies, which took place between July 4-9, 2026, after a significant delay since his death. Official estimates from Iranian law enforcement suggested that between 18 to 35 million people participated in the various ceremonies across the country.
Meanwhile, the Iranian regime continues an unprecedented wave of executions. A revolutionary court in northeastern Iran recently sentenced Hadi Abbasiyan, 38, to death for allegedly actively supporting nationwide protests in January. At least five individuals arrested during the protests have been executed since late September, and the Iran Human Rights organization warns that at least 100 more detainees are in immediate danger.
Amidst ongoing tensions, Israel's National Security Council issued an unusual emergency warning on Tuesday ahead of the third anniversary of the October 7th massacre. The warning highlights a sharp increase in the risk of attacks against Israelis and Jews worldwide, with intelligence assessments indicating that Iran, Hamas, and global jihad elements view this date as a significant milestone.
