Meta has permanently banned Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei from Facebook and Instagram due to repeated calls to “wipe Israel off the map” and referring to Israel as a “cancerous tumor.”
The accounts were removed for violating Meta’s rules against dangerous individuals and organizations, with Khamenei’s comments being classified as hate speech.
Despite being blocked within Iran, Khamenei maintained accounts on these platforms to reach international audiences.
The move has been hailed by Israeli officials and Jewish groups as an overdue step to curb dangerous propaganda.
