Israeli censorship authorities demanded the removal of statements made by former Minister Avigdor Lieberman regarding Iran this morning, October 8th, 2025. The demand, reported via a Telegram channel, aims to suppress Lieberman's recent commentary on the geopolitical situation. The specific content of Lieberman's statements and the exact timing of the censorship demand were not immediately disclosed. This development follows earlier reports from this morning, October 8th, 2025, where a "Senior Security Factor" dismissed Lieberman's comments on Iran as an attention-seeking tactic disconnected from relevant information. The security source stated that Lieberman's remarks were part of an opposition leader's struggle and lacked substance. Earlier in the week, Lieberman had advised the public to stay near protected spaces after stating Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a limited cabinet meeting to discuss Iran. During the period of 4:36 AM to 7:35 AM UTC on October 8th, 2025, commentary also emerged questioning the validity of Lieberman's earlier statements. This also coincides with Iran summoning EU ambassadors on October 8th, 2025, to protest a joint EU-GCC statement, according to previous reports. Deputy Foreign Minister Ravanchi conveyed Iran's objections during that summons, reportedly protesting "baseless claims" regarding its islands, defense, and nuclear program.
