CNN —Meta has removed the Facebook and Instagram accounts of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
According to Meta, the accounts have been disabled, which means they are permanently removed.
“We have removed these accounts for repeatedly violating our Dangerous Organizations & Individuals policy,” a Meta spokesperson told CNN.
Meta did not give a specific reason as to why Khamenei’s account fell under the Dangerous Organizations and Individuals Policy.
“We expect the threat posed by Iran’s cyber and influence operations will grow as the conflict persists,” the Microsoft Threat Intelligence report said.
