On Saturday, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, tweeted: “Martyr Soleimani is an eternal reality that will live on forever. His assassins – including Trump & the like – will go down in history’s garbage bin, but of course after receiving retribution in this world for the crime they committed .” This is a clear threat, but Twitter has not banned or suspended Khamenei’s account. After all, he was threatening Donald Trump, and as far as Twitter is concerned, what could be wrong with that?
Khamenei was referring, of course, to Qasem Soleimani, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force commander who was killed in a Trump-ordered American airstrike on Jan. 3, 2020. Soleimani was killed near Baghdad International Airport shortly after an Iranian-backed militia attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, as a clear warning to Iran not to continue to target Americans and American installations.
The Islamic Republic, however, has consistently portrayed the killing of Soleimani as an unprovoked, gratuitous strike by the Great Satan. Yet the Supreme Leader’s belligerence is longstanding. Before Soleimani was killed, he was just as hostile to the United States and American leaders as he is now. Khamenei has also threatened Trump before. Iran’s state-controlled Ahlul Bayt News Agency reported on Jan. 23, 2021, that the Supreme Leader’s official website “posted a photo-montage of former US President Donald Trump playing golf under the shadow of a drone, vowing to avenge the assassination of Iran’s Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.”
Khamenei also thundered in December 2020, “Revenge is certain.” He added, “The assassin of Soleimani and the one who ordered the murder should be punished. ”

Khamenei has vowed “retribution in this world” against Trump and others. He is in the enviable position of hating the same people the Leftist self-appointed guardians of acceptable opinion hate, so he is able to spread his hatred on social media without fear of suffering the fate of his nemesis, Trump.
My guess is, If Iran’s Supreme Leader had issued a similar threat against any current or former head of state of any country, he would have been banned from Twitter immediately. But when Twitter is apparently fine even with open threats such as those Khamenei has issued against Trump.
Methinks when Trump gets back in power Khamenei will receive HIS retribution.
Sure.
Because Get Trump bestows "automatic cool" among the prog retards.
They can now high-five each other.
No actual thought process required.
Alahwahoo WHACKbar!
Donald Trump and the Sunnis are comimg for yah!
One day the Iranian people will be free of this buggerer of sheep and little boys.
Ayatollah Khamenei?
I thought that guy died back sometime after the Iran hostage crisis after Reagan was elected in 1980.
Who are these people at Twitter who are doing this? Don’t they have names?Don’t they have identities? Why should they enjoy anonymity while they go about attacking and executing people with a white digital hood over their heads? Expose these nazis to the light of day.
RE: I thought that guy died back sometime after the Iran hostage crisis after Reagan was elected in 1980.
There is a difference between ‘A’ and ‘O’
KhAmeini vs KhOmeini.
You say Khameini and I say Khomeini.
Khameini, Khomeini...Khomeini, Khameini
Let’s call the whole thing off!
Thus sayeth the Assahollah

Twitter is nothing more than a mouth piece for Communists and Fellow Travelers to spew their lies and venom. Why those who consider themselves don't get off and stay off, I don't know. Perhaps they have. I hear that some have.
Nothing from big media
It is the same kinda deal McCain and his son Cindy had in taking over his senate seat....
“...A rose by any other name...”
