The Twitter account of Iran’s Supreme Spiritual Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened to kill outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump to avenge the death of Soleimani, the No. 2 figure in the Iranian regime who was previously killed by U.S. forces in Iraq in a scheduled click.
The Twitter account of Iran’s Supreme Spiritual Leader Khamenei’s website (@khamenei_site) posted a montage of photos threatening Donald Trump just before midnight on Thursday, Jan. 21, with the words in Farsi: “Suleimani’s killers and those who ordered his death deserve revenge.
The photo is still up on Iran’s Supreme Spiritual Leader Khamenei’s Twitter feed today, Jan. 22, at 13:00 p.m. Paris Time. The photo shows Donald Trump playing on a golf course by the sea. The huge shadow of a triangular-shaped flying machine projected on the golf lawn points to him. “Revenge is inevitable,” Khamenei said.
Trump retired to his Mar-a-Lago golf course in Florida’s Sea Lake Estates on Wednesday, Jan. 20, after stepping down as U.S. president.
Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the strategic architect of Iran’s expansion of influence in the Middle East, is also the commander of the Qods Force (Qods), Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps that fights in foreign countries, according to AFP.
On Jan. 3, 2020, he was eliminated in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, by a U.S. drone strike ordered by then-President Donald Trump.
Iran’s supreme spiritual leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has repeatedly stressed that Suleimani’s death will be avenged. “Revenge can happen at any time,” he said in this tweet.
At a Jan. 1 ceremony honoring Suleimani, Iranian Justice Minister Ebrahim Raïssi said the assassin who killed Suleimani “will have no safe place in this world. “Don’t think that someone like the U.S. president, who appears to be an assassin, or who ordered the assassination, can get away with it (……), absolutely not.”
AFP said that on Jan. 9, Twitter had censored a tweet by Khamenei banning Iran from importing U.S. or British Covid – 19 vaccines, which he called untrustworthy. Twitter considered the message to be contrary to Twitter’s information policy on Covid–19.
