Sparked by an ongoing economic crisis, demonstrations have erupted across Iran, and in turn, Khamenei has vowed to crack down on protesters he accused of working on behalf of Trump, whose administration has long sought to topple Irans government. Trump made an explicit threat Thursday that his administration would hit them very hard should Iran harm any protesters, bragging that the United States was ready to do it.
Khamenei took to social media on Friday, however, to attack Trump for his open threats, and offered a bleak prediction for the presidents immediate future.
The U.S. President who judges arrogantly about the whole world should know that tyrants & arrogant rulers of the world, such as Pharaoh, Nimrod, Mohammad Reza [Pahlavi] & other such rulers saw their downfall when they were at the peak of their hubris, Khamenei wrote in a social media post on X. He too will fall.

The US President has said that if the Iranian govt. does such-and-such, Ill take the side of the rioters, Khamenei wrote in a social media post on X. The rioters have put their hopes in him. If hes so capable, he should manage his own country.

What a crazy world we live in.

(12,579 posts)I'm mad that Canks had to go stick his dick into it. The situation is fucked enough already. Of course, now the people in Iran think that the US military is going to come in and do a Maduro on Khamenei and the rest of the Iranian government. They've even renamed a street after him! There are two reasons why Canks is threatening to use the military to go into Iran - he wants the glory of being the one to overthrow the mullahs, and he wants the oil. He's also clueless enough to not know that hitting Tehran isn't as easy as hitting Caracas, just based on geography. Caracas is on the coast of Venezuela. Tehran is in the middle of the country.
