Meta Deletes Iran's Supreme Leader's Instagram and Facebook Accounts

Meta has removed Instagram and Facebook accounts associated with Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, citing violations of its Dangerous Organizations and Individuals policy due to support for Hamas. Khamenei's praise for the group's attack on Israel led to the removal, though he still maintains a presence on X. Pressure on online platforms to remove Khamenei has grown, particularly after protests in 2022. Iran has provided support to Hamas, and tensions in the Middle East have escalated since the attack, with Iranian-backed militias launching attacks against Israel.
