*To Taunt Israel
Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s official account is still active even after joint US-Israeli airstrikes hit Tehran and killed him on February 28.
In a threatening message, Khamenei’s account posted that Israel has made a big mistake in attacking the Middle East eand will face consequences that will make it “desperate.”
The post read: “The Zionist regime has made a big mistake, and its consequences will make the regime desperate, by God’s grace,” the post on X read.
The image in the post features a three-panel collage designed to showcase Iran’s missile power.
The first panel shows a huge ballistic missile launching with a massive fiery explosion. Streaks of missiles rain down on burning enemy cities at night.
The middle panel shows an Iranian missile on a mobile launcher in the desert, with soldiers in camouflage operating it and the Iranian flag waving, and the bottom panel depicts scientists in white lab coats working inside a high-tech missile production/assembly facility.

After Khamenei’s death, his account bio was updated to “Martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution”.
Since Khamenei’s death, Iran has launched multiple waves of ballistic missiles at Israel and US bases in the Middle East region.
Social Media Reactions
There were mixed reactions to the post.
Some cheered the post, with one user writing, “The whole world stands with Iran”.
Another user posted an AI-generated picture of a lion with Iran’s flag chasing two hyenas wrapped in flags of the US and Israel, with a caption saying, “They thought it was just another strike. Now they’ll learn the cost of underestimating Iran. History shows one thing: Those who miscalculate Iran always regret it.”
However, other users mocked the post.
One user wrote, “A dead man introducing us to weapons of mass destruction. This indeed is 2026”, while another said, “Zombie Khamenei is proving to be more resilient than his former living body. Go back underground!”
The conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran has entered its seventh day.
The situation is marked by a “new phase” of intensified aerial bombardment by joint US-Israeli forces and a continued, though reportedly diminished, retaliatory campaign from Iran across the Middle East.
