Meta deletes Iran’s leader Ali Khamenei’s Facebook and Instagram accounts after he made calls to?Wipe Israel from the map?
Meta has blocked Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, citing “repeated violations” of its “dangerous organizations and individuals policy.”
Khamenei previously referred to Israel and Zionism as “an obvious plague for the world of Islam.”
In 2020, Khamenei described Israel as a “cancerous tumor” that “will undoubtedly be uprooted and destroyed.”
Following the Oct. 7 attack, Khamenei wrote on X: “God willing, the cancer of the usurper Zionist regime will be eradicated at the hands of the Palestinian people and Resistance forces throughout the region.”
Meta deletes Iran’s leader Ali Khamenei from Facebook and Instagram after he called to “wipe Israel off the map.”
Khamenei was removed off prominent social media networks after making repeated demands to “wipe Israel off the map.”
Iran is a determined opponent of Israel, which has waged war on Hamas since the Palestinian terrorist organization’s October 7 attack, which killed almost 1,200.
Pro-Israel organizations have urged social media corporations to delete Khamenei’s accounts.
His Persian Instagram feed has over 5.1 million followers, whereas the English one had over 204,000. X, the business formerly known as Twitter, has yet to remove Khamenei’s account. He has over a million followers on the website.
Facebook, Instagram, and X are all forbidden in Iran, but Khamenei apparently maintains accounts for audiences outside of the nation.
