The account of the Office of the Leader of the Revolution and the Islamic Republic, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, in Hebrew on X posted on Sunday a message addressed to "Israel".
"We will make them understand the power, capabilities, innovation, and will of the Iranian people," the post, clearly directed at the Israeli occupation regime, read.
המשטר הציוני עשה טעות, וטעה בחישוב שלו לגבי איראן. נגרום לו להבין איזה כוח, יכולת, יוזמה ורצון יש לאומה האיראנית.

The message comes a day after Israeli warplanes launched an aggression on Iran. The Israeli military command confirmed that its Air Force conducted strikes on "military targets" in the country, sparking widespread regional and international condemnations.
The Iranian Air Defense reported that in the early hours of October 26, "Israel" targeted military sites in the provinces of Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam, with air defenses intercepting the attacks.
Limited damage was reported, and the full extent of which is under investigation, it said.
The Iranian Armed Forces general staff said in a statement aired on state TV that the country's air defenses performed promptly, which caused the damage of "limited damage and few radar systems."
"A large number of missiles were intercepted and enemy aircraft were prevented from entering the country's airspace," the statement pointed out, emphasizing that Israeli planes were limited to launching a "small number of long-range missiles with very light warheads from a distance" within the US-patrolled airspace of Iraq.
The Armed Forces confirmed that four soldiers were martyred while intercepting the projectiles launched by the Israeli occupation military toward Iranian territory.
It underlined that the country will reserve its right to respond appropriately and is prioritizing the establishment of a "lasting ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon."
Iran not seeking war, but ready to respond to Israeli aggression: Pezeshkian
Earlier on Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian indicated that Iran did not seek war but was ready to deliver "an appropriate response" to the Israeli airstrikes that targeted Iranian military sites.
"We do not seek war but we will defend the rights of our nation and country," Pezeshkian told a cabinet meeting, underlining that Iran "will give an appropriate response to the aggression of the Zionist regime."
He blamed the soaring regional tensions on "Israel's" aggression and the continuous US support for the occupation regime.
"If the aggressions of the Zionist regime and its crimes continue, the tensions will spread," warned the Iranian President.
Elsewhere, Pezeshkian pointed out that the US had "promised to end the war in return for our restraint, but they did not keep their promise."
