Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wrote a message on his Hebrew X/Twitter account that Israel was "gravely mistaken" about regional developments regarding Iran. 

"The enemies imagine that after the developments in Syria, the uprising is already over. They are greatly mistaken," he wrote.

Blaming Israel for the developments in Syria 

Following the toppling of former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's regime by Syrian rebel factions earlier in December, Iran lost much of its influence in the region. It has indicated its interest in working with the new government in Damascus. 

The Islamic Republic has blamed both Israel and the US for the fall of the Syrian regime.

In October, Khamenei launched his Hebrew X account, which was subsequently suspended temporarily, with the social media platform citing a violation of rules.
