The supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, tweeted in Hebrew against Israel on Friday, accusing Israel of deceit and threatening Israel. 

"The Zionist entity is lying to you, and it is also lying when it expresses concern for Palestinian prisoners. (Israel) also destroys them with shelling," the Ayatollah wrote.

"The occupying entity is helpless and confused now, and without American support will be silenced within days," he wrote.

Iran's Khamenei has taken to social media in the past to attack Israel, the United States, and other parties Iran sees as adversarial – despite calls to remove the controversial ruler of Iran from Twitter.

Three days after Hamas' October 7th terror attacks, Khamenei tweeted: "Heads of the Zionist regime and their backers should know that the massacre and mass murder of the people of #Gaza will cause a larger calamity to come upon them."
