A few days ago, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, opened a Hebrew account on social network X to post his “messages” for Israelis.

On October 27, a new message appeared in this account:

“The Zionist regime made a mistake. Its calculations about Iran were wrong. We will show it the strength, determination and willpower of the Iranian people.”

However, just a few hours later, the @Khamenei_Heb account was blocked for violating the social network’s policies.

In addition, as Kursor reported, the health of 85-year-old Khamenei is in critical condition, which has sparked serious discussions about the succession of power. According to The New York Times, the Ayatollah is suffering from a serious illness, and there is growing interest in Iranian society about who will become his successor. Possible candidates include his 55-year-old son Mujtaba Khamenei, who actively supports his father’s conservative policies and takes tough stances on the West and Israel.

Mujtaba Khamenei, one of the supreme leader’s four sons, was born in 1969 and gradually grew in influence in Iran’s political system. His commitment to his father’s ideas and anti-Western views made him one of the likely candidates to become the country’s next supreme leader. However, the transition of power in Iran is likely to be complex. There are various influential groups in the country that may oppose his appointment, which will only add to tension during this period. The choice of Khamenei’s successor will play a key role in determining Iran’s future course, its relations with the West and its strategic position in the region.
