'Eretz Nehederet' Sketch Mocking Mojtaba Khamenei Goes Viral - in Iran | WATCH
Israeli satire crosses borders: Iranian dissident Ali Esmayli shares an 'Eretz Nehederet' sketch mocking Mojtaba Khamenei's appointment, garnering hundreds of thousands of views in Iran.

"Eretz Nehederet" is taking Iran by storm, as a sketch featuring the son of the late Ali Khamenei has gone viral among regime opponents. Iranian influencer Ali Esmayli, known for his fierce opposition to the Ayatollah regime, shared the satirical take on Mojtaba Khamenei’s appointment as Supreme Leader. The video garnered hundreds of thousands of views after being posted across Esmayli’s accounts.
The sketch (featuring actors Mariano Idelman, Yuval Semo, and Dor Muskul) depicts the selection process of the new leader with sharp ridicule, portraying Mojtaba Khamenei being chosen "against his will." The selection was parodied through children's games such as musical chairs and "one out of three," mocking the legitimacy of the succession.
Ali Esmayli, who commands a massive following and aims to spark a revolution, shared the clips and expressed his satisfaction with the satire directed at the country's leadership. Iranian users responded with support, laughing at the sketch and even offering blessings to Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump for their actions against the regime.
Esmayli’s activism goes beyond satire. In one of his latest videos, he issued a direct plea to PM Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump: "I ask you," Esmayli said, "to continue the attack on the Iranian regime until it is destroyed. If you stop for even a moment, they will massacre the citizens of Iran and take revenge on them. Stand with the Iranian people until the regime falls."
