ARTICLE SUMMARY (2024-10-28)
Written by Moanes HawasA recent report revealed that the X platform closed the account of the Iranian leader "Ali Khamenei" in Hebrew less than two days after its activation and hours after a tweet that carried a kind of threat to Israel after its recent attack on Iran.
According to the report, the tweet on Khamenei’s account in Hebrew read: "The Zionist entity committed a folly and made miscalculations regarding Iran.. We will make them understand the strength of the Iranian people, their capabilities, innovation and will."
The report explained that when trying to access the new account of the leader, a message appears stating that it is a "banned account." After the account was suspended on Monday morning, the "X" platform published a note stating that "X" suspends accounts that violate its rules, but it did not specify the nature of the violations that led to the suspension of Khamenei’s account.
The account was opened on Sunday with a message in Hebrew that read: “In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” Khamenei’s office has maintained several X accounts for the 85-year-old leader for years, and has previously sent messages in several languages. This was not the first time Khamenei’s account has been suspended or removed from social media. In February, Meta removed the leader’s Facebook and Instagram accounts over his support for Hamas after its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Director of the National Center for Geophysics in Lebanon, Marlene Brax, denied any connection between the recent explosions in southern Lebanon and the possibility of earthquakes.
This denial comes after warnings of the impact of massive Israeli explosions in areas in southern Lebanon on the general seismic activity in the country.
The director of the government center affiliated with the National Council for Scientific Research indicated that Saturday’s explosion, despite its strength that was detected in Turkey and Jordan, did not exceed 3.5 degrees on the Richter scale, which is a non-influential force and does not call for concern.
He explains that activating seismic activity sensors is not a "false alarm" but rather evidence that they have detected strong vibrations, similar to earthquakes.
The same speaker indicates that Lebanon includes 4 active seismic faults, and therefore "pressures on them should not be tampered with", which could lead to minor tremors that could expand to form violent tremors, in the form of earthquakes.

Iran accused Israel on Monday of using Iraqi airspace to launch its latest attack on sites inside Iranian territory, which Baghdad confirmed in a protest letter to the UN Security Council.
A statement by the Iranian mission to the United Nations published on its account on the "X" platform stated that Israeli aircraft "attacked several Iranian military and radar sites from Iraqi airspace, about 70 miles from the Iranian border."
Iraq officially submitted a protest note to the UN Security Council "condemning the flagrant violation" committed by Israel by "using Iraqi airspace to carry out the attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran," according to a statement by the government spokesman on Monday.
The Israeli army bombed missile manufacturing sites in Iran at dawn on Saturday, in response to the Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel on October 1.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied on Monday reports that the latter had decided to move negotiations on a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner swap deal from Egypt to Qatar.
Officials involved in the prisoner swap talks told Israeli media that the negotiations moved from Egypt to Qatar due to Netanyahu’s intervention, and that he had requested that the center of gravity in the current round of talks be moved from Cairo to Doha.
According to Israeli sources, Netanyahu acted contrary to the recommendations of professional bodies in the negotiations, who recommended in closed meetings that the summit be held in Egypt, since it was the initiator of the deal.
The Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement that “the news (published by Israeli media) is incorrect” and that “the Mossad chief’s trip to Qatar was for the purpose of coordinating with the CIA chief.”
On Sunday, Israel’s Channel 12 revealed that the Egyptian proposal had the support of the majority of ministers, except for Netanyahu, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

Iraqi government spokesman Bassem al-Awadi announced that Baghdad had submitted an official protest note to the UN Secretary-General and the Security Council, which included a condemnation of the "flagrant violation" committed by Israel by violating Iraq’s airspace and sovereignty during its strikes on Iran.
Al-Awadi said in a statement carried by the Iraqi News Agency that Iraq had officially submitted a protest note to the UN Secretary-General and the UN Security Council, which included a condemnation of the flagrant violation committed by Israel by violating Iraq’s airspace and sovereignty, and using Iraqi airspace to carry out the attack on Iran.
According to the statement, the Iraqi Prime Minister directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to "communicate with the American side regarding this violation, in accordance with the terms of the bilateral strategic framework agreement, and the United States’ commitment to Iraq’s security and sovereignty."
Iran downplayed the impact of the Israeli airstrike that targeted military sites, saying it only caused limited damage.
The rounds of fire between the two sides have raised fears of a comprehensive regional war that would pit Israel and the United States against Iran and its armed proxies in the region.

Relations between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Yoav Galant are witnessing new tensions over disagreements over the management of the war, according to Alhurra’s correspondent in Tel Aviv.
The Israeli Defense Minister considered in a letter to a number of political and security officials, including the prime ministers, the chiefs of staff, the Mossad and the Shin Bet, that "the war is being managed without a compass", and that it is necessary to update its objectives.
Netanyahu’s office responded to Galant with a statement, in which it considered his letter "very strange", noting that "there is only one compass, which is the objectives of the war as determined by the Cabinet".
The statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office stated that "the objectives are being reviewed constantly, and have recently expanded".
The head of the "New Hope" party, Gideon Sa’ar, came out to announce that the Prime Minister "offered him the position of Minister of Defense", noting that he "refused" in light of the major escalation in the fighting with the Lebanese Hezbollah.

The occupation army: We suffered heavy and painful losses and we continue to fight. The Israeli occupation army announced the signing of a deal worth about two billion shekels to complete the development of the "Magan Or" system for laser air interception.
This comes after Tel Aviv asked the United States to send a second THAAD battery to protect it and confront any air attack, especially after the attack on Iran and the escalation of missile and drone launches from Lebanon.
The United States of America provided an advanced air defense battery to the Israeli occupation, along with American soldiers to operate it, in light of the continued provision of military support with weapons, missiles and vehicles to continue launching aggression on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
According to an earlier time, the Chief of Staff of the Israeli occupation army, Herzi Halevi, admitted that his army suffered heavy and significant losses on the combat fronts in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

The U.S. presidential elections are scheduled for early next month, amid the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.

Conflicts in the Middle East have had profound effects on oil prices, with events such as the Arab oil embargo of 1973 and the Iranian revolution of 1979 leading to significant spikes in oil prices and widespread economic disruption.
While the immediate spike in oil prices is likely to be the result of rising tensions and fears of supply disruptions, several mitigating factors could mitigate these effects over time.
In addition, Russia could gain financially from higher prices as it continues its military engagements elsewhere. The potential for war between Israel and Iran poses a serious threat to global oil markets and economic stability.
While the immediate spike in oil prices is likely to be the result of rising tensions and fears of supply disruptions, several mitigating factors could mitigate these effects over time.
The interplay between geopolitical developments and market dynamics will be crucial in determining the extent to which global oil prices will be affected by this ongoing conflict.
