Twitter and Khamenei's Speech; 'Dictator in Freedom' or 'Enemy-Breaking Gathering'?

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's speech at Azadi Stadium in front of his supporters received numerous reactions on social media, especially on Twitter, where both supporters and opponents expressed their differing views about the speech using various hashtags. Khamenei's supporters praised the speech with hashtags like 'Enemy-Breaking Gathering', 'Sanction Defeat', and 'Greatness of Iran', while his opponents tweeted with hashtags such as 'Dictator in Freedom', 'Despicable Leader', and 'Azadi Stadium'. The tweets from Khamenei's supporters mainly consisted of expressions of devotion, quoting his statements, or describing the speech with terms like 'Manifesto of the Third Revolution' and 'Whistle of the End of America's and Israel's Games'. Most of these tweets, however, provoked responses from Khamenei's opponents who refuted his statements by pointing to evidence. Supporters of the Islamic Republic's leader considered part of his remarks as responses to government officials. Several officials from the Islamic Republic, including the Minister of Communications, also praised this gathering, which elicited further reactions. Some reformist activists commended the event but also referenced the prohibition of women's entry into stadiums, a topic that was repeated in numerous tweets. The choice of Azadi Stadium as the venue for this speech also drew many reactions from the opponents of the Islamic Republic's leader. Some users compared the gathering on Thursday at Azadi Stadium with two other gatherings at the same location in previous years. A number of tweets also focused on the number of attendees at Thursday's event. Finally, several users shared their interpretations of the Islamic Republic's leader's remarks. In this context, Khamenei stated: 'We have economic pressure but no deadlock; this is not bravado.' Seventy minutes of the leader's speech focused on two words: enemy and America.
