What happened
- 01The official Hebrew X account of the late Iranian leader Ali Khamenei posted propaganda on Tuesday calling the October 7th attack an irreversible defeat for Israel.
- 02The post was published approximately eight months after Khamenei was killed on February 28, 2026, during a joint United States and Israeli military operation.
- 03The shared text quoted Khamenei's speech from October 10, 2023, in which he praised the Hamas assault while denying direct Iranian involvement.
- 04Following Khamenei's death, his son Mojtaba Khamenei took power in Iran and adopted an even more hardline approach than his father.
- 05Israelis responded to the post on the social media platform with taunts, mocking the deceased leader's account.
- 06The propaganda post was timed ahead of the third anniversary of the October 7th massacre, amid heightened global security warnings for Israelis.
The post, which appeared approximately eight months after Khamenei was killed, quoted his remarks from October 10, 2023. In that original speech, Khamenei praised the Hamas terror attack as the "Al-Aqsa Flood" while denying Tehran's direct involvement in its planning. Israelis reacted to the post on Tuesday with online taunts, mocking the deceased leader.
Khamenei, who led Iran since 1989, was killed on February 28, 2026, in a joint United States and Israeli military operation that targeted nuclear facilities and strategic sites across Iran. Following his death, his son Mojtaba Khamenei assumed power and established an even more hardline regime. Meanwhile, Iran has faced internal unrest and an unprecedented wave of executions.
The re-emergence of Khamenei's rhetoric comes amid heightened security concerns. Israel's National Security Council recently issued an emergency warning regarding increased threats to Israelis and Jewish people globally ahead of the October 7th anniversary.
