Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei took to X, formerly Twitter, on his newly launched Hebrew account.
The post reads, “In the name of Allah, the Merciful and the Compassionate.” The post was also shared on his main account.
The tweet followed Israel’s retaliatory airstrikes on Saturday, which killed four Iranian soldiers, further intensifying tensions between the two nations amid an already volatile situation in the region.
Israel had vowed to respond to the October 1 missile attack, in which Iran launched approximately 200 missiles—its second direct assault on Israel.
Earlier in April, Iran conducted its first direct strike against Israeli territory, launching over 300 drones and missiles in retaliation for an Israeli attack that killed commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Damascus.
In Saturday’s attack, at least two Iranian soldiers were killed as the Israeli army targeted military installations in Iran. The White House stated that Israel’s actions should end direct exchanges of fire between the two nations, warning Tehran of potential “consequences” if it retaliates.
Iranian military officials have previously warned that any Israeli attack would provoke a “harsher response.”
