Iran's Ayatollah Posts Video Saying 'Death to America' Is One of Regimes 'Main Slogans'

Exclusive: On April 1, 2022, the official website of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei, Khamenei.ir, posted a video titled, “Is the slogan ‘Death to America’ rational?” The answer the video provides is yes. Ironically, the Ayatollah’s video bashes the US for being murderous, oppressive toward (foreign) women, and racist; meanwhile, Iran’s government is a major state sponsor of terrorism, has harshly-enforced laws specifically oppressive toward women, and constantly posts anti-Semitic hate. While the American government has certainly done some truly terrible things, “Death to America,” however rationalized (and the Ayatollah tried to tweak the obvious meaning), is a wicked, bloodthirsty slogan and Iran is one of the most violent, prejudiced, murderous governments in the world.

While some of the accusations in the video are in fact accurate (such as the accusation that the US government violates the rights of its own people and the fact that some Americans have indeed committed bad deeds in other countries), the accusations are wildly ironic considering who is making them. For example, Iran aggressively supports the “Palestinians,” who are ruled by various terrorist groups and unjustly lay claim to the legitimate nation of Israel.

The Khamenei.ir video included a clip from the Ayatollah’s 2015 speech in which he claimed, “It is clear that ‘Death to America’ does not mean death to the American nation. The American nation is like any other nation. The slogan ‘Death to America’ means death to American policies, death to American arrogance. This slogan has a rational basis.” But since the Ayatollah’s own Twitter account has explicitly called for the deaths of American “politicians,” including (as I said above) Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo, I doubt that “Death to America” means only death to “policies.”

The Khamenei.ir video ended:

“The Islamic Revolution of Iran took place in February 1979. From its inception to the present day, this Revolution has made the slogan, ‘Death to America’ one of its main slogans.”

And yet the Biden regime is trying its best to pander to terrorist-supporting Iran. Talk about suicidal.

Xao Bai-Dung believes in “Death to American Values” too.

[Sirius Lee]

Weird that he still has a twitter account.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

And tho think in the past, Iran, the USA and Israel got along just fine. Then came Jimmy Carter....

[Tell It Right]

At what point should a statement like that from the top dog in Iran be considered a declaration of war?

[BiglyCommentary]

I’d bet a large sum that if an honest election was held in Iran today, a majority would kick the mullahs to the curb and go with a more Westernised government.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Same slogan as the Democrats and Assistant Democrats.

[Sirius Lee]

Iran’s government is a major state sponsor of terrorism

Biden's best friends! The US is begging Iran for oil. https://www.foxbusiness.com/energy/daines-biden-iran-venezuela-oil-production Come on globalist fanbois, get in here and let zel the clown continue play your faces like a piano.

[Seruzawa]

It seems that “Death to Everyone” is their actual slogan.

[BiglyCommentary]

I’ve never seen anyone directly root for Biden, unlike what you Pooties do for Putin.

[ought-six]

Death to Iran! See, we can play that game, as well.

[escapefromboston]

Well they lost my vote

[BenLurkin]

A sentiment shared by most of the so-called “entertainmnet” inidustry and most of the so-called “news” media.

[NorseViking]

Who cares?

[Sirius Lee]

I’ve never seen anyone directly root for Biden, unlike what you Pooties do for Putin.

I've never rooted for pootie, so you're a lying sack of sh*t.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The median age of Iranians is 32 years. It has a young population who are very Westernized. Someday they will get rid of the Ayatollahs—none of whom is loved by the people.

[HereInTheHeartland]

I thought death to America was AOC and her friends chant?
And also the woke people at Disney pretty much feel the same way ?

Cmon Babylon Bee, we need a picture of a woke Mickey Mouse holding a sign that says Death to America.

“Putin’s best friends forever. Come on Pooties, get in here and show some love to Pooty’s homies.”

Maybe you should direct that to your hero Biden, he’s the one desperately pleading for Iran to open their spigots to make up for sanctioned Russian energy.

Fire up the VOA and start them on a shuffle of 100+ years of Jazz, the next day blues, Brit invasion, etc... inundate 24/7, FM via satellite or airborne, AM, Shortwave, and SSB.

The VOA inadvertently was a success, but when the wall came down and the Cold War was “over” funding was cut.
