TWITTER BANS IRAN’S SUPREME LEADER ACCOUNT OVER THREATENING VIDEO

Middle East World

Sat 15 January 2022:

After an animated film depicting the assassination of former US President Donald Trump was posted on Twitter, an account linked to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was blocked.

A Twitter spokeswoman told FOX Business that the account was permanently banned on Saturday for breaking the company’s “ban evasion policy.”

On Friday, Khamenei’s official website hailed the film as the “winning animation from the people in the “Hero” contest sponsored by Khamenei.ir on the issue of retribution on Trump, (former US Secretary of State Mike) Pompeo, and the murderers of General #Soleimani.”

It was tweeted with the words “Revenge is definite” from a Persian-language account.

In the video, a golfer who resembles Trump is targeted by a robot on a golf course in the shadow of a big drone.

Qasem Soleimani, the former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad on January 3, 2020, prompting Khamenei and other senior Iranian leaders to threaten revenge.

Last year, Twitter blocked another account associated to Khamenei for tweeting a similar image.

The graphic featured a golfer who looked like Trump and the words “Vengeance is Inevitable.”
