Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened in Hebrew that the US and the "Zionist regime" would receive a crushing response in a Saturday night X/Twitter post.

Khamenei had his Hebrew X/Twitter account reinstated after it had been suspended following the activation of his account last week.

Khamenei's account was previously suspended for violating the rules of the X platform.

In his new post, Khamenei threatened in Hebrew, "The USA and the Zionist regime will receive a crushing response to what they are doing against #Iran and against the #Resistance."

This comes after the Biden administration recently cautioned Iran against launching another attack on Israel, emphasizing that it could not restrain an Israeli response if provoked again, Walla reported on Saturday evening.

The warning follows Iran’s October 1 attack on Israel, which retaliated against Israeli targeted operations. Israel's response included strikes on military targets but excluded strategic sites like nuclear and oil facilities. These facilities could be potential targets should Iran initiate further attacks.

Comments on Gaza, Lebanon

On his additional English X account, Khamenei tweeted on Saturday that the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon have killed 50,000 people over the last year.

The Iranian autocrat added that the majority of those killed have been women and children.

"Is this a small matter?" Khamenei wrote. "The US that claims to be an advocate of human rights supports and is complicit in those crimes. Plans and weapons used are from the US," he concluded.
