DUBAI (Reuters) - The Twitter account of Iran’s Supreme Leader on Friday carried the image of a golfer resembling former President Donald Trump apparently being targeted by a drone, vowing revenge over the killing of a top Iranian general in a U.S. drone attack.

The post carried the text of remarks by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in December, in which he said “Revenge is certain”, renewing a vow of vengeance ahead of the first anniversary of the killing of top military commander General Qassem Soleimani in the attack in Iraq.

“Those who ordered the murder of General Soleimani as well as those who carried this out should be punished. This revenge will certainly happen at the right time,” Khamenei tweeted on December 16, without naming Trump, who had ordered the strike.

Earlier this month, Twitter removed a tweet by Khamenei in which he said U.S. and British-made vaccines were unreliable and may be intended to “contaminate other nations”. The platform said the tweet violated its rules against misinformation.

1. This is going to make the Secret Service's job more difficult

this is what happens when you have to protect a murderous criminal who made a lot of enemies

[mobeau69]

3. The Shaw for example.

[flying_wahini]

4. If Khamenei killed Trump I would be worried that the Trumpies may implode.

Karma is a bitch, tho.

[W T F]

5. Trump didn't seem to mind when Putin targeted US soldiers. So, why should this concern anyone?

[pandr32]

17. The difference is Trump is his own god

This is about him and not all those other people-things. This matters to him but should not concern the rest of us one little bit.
May he sweat profusely and grow even more paranoid.

[Escurumbele]

36. He may stop playing Golf, that is a big punishment, not because of the golf, but because of

of the satisfaction and opportunities that gold brings him to cheat and lie.

[pandr32]

41. You're probably correct

He will hunker down indoors. It wouldn't be pleasant to be an employee at Mar-a-Lago.

[onetexan]

26. Spot on!! K&R

[dchill]

28. "It is what it is."

[Ramsey Barner]

6. In 1993, Clinton attacked Iraq for plotting to kill H.W. Bush

A Twitter threat is not a plot, but this action by Iran does put Biden in a difficult position as his administration works to rejoin or re-vamp the JCPOA with Iran and the other signatory nations.

[Tommymac]

7. Trump jumped the shark.

I do not condone efforts to murder anyone. Period.

But one reaps what one sows.

[fleur-de-lisa]

8. Not only does (he who shall not be named) have to worry about poison in his food

for the rest of his life, now he has to worry about drone strikes. It must suck to be a fascist loser asshole.

[mushroomhunter]

25. well said.

[EX500rider]

42. Unlikely to be any Iranian drones over the US ever unless they want their country flattened a bit.

[Nitram]

9. Ouch! Seems Trump is going to be looking over his shoulder and upwards for the rest of his life.

[sdfernando]

13. ...and there is no restricted airspace around an Ex-President!

Damn that sounds good "Ex-President" !!!!

[RussBLib]

19. so every time he is on the golf course, he should be wary

serves that fat fascist right

these things generally do not happen to good people

[Nitram]

20. Won't help his golf game to jump at every small sound.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. He Already Stinks At Golf

This isn't going to help!!!

[Mike 03]

10. When it comes to targeted assassinations on U.S. soil, it's not

Iran we should be so worried about. Russia, on the other hand, has demonstrated novelty, skill and impunity in foreign targeted hits. But I doubt it's Trump they are interested in--except for the outside possibility of it spawning conspiracy theories and further division on a level we've never seen before.

[ewagner]

14. Interesting.....

Who would have a greater motive for silencing (he who must not be named) than Russia.

What would stop that person from spilling all the beans about Russia than one who would use those beans as a bargaining chip to save his own neck?

[oldsoftie]

11. Twitter has now deleted his account. Which should have been done long ago.

With all the "destruction of Israel" tweets, that should've been enough

[George II]

12. Screen shot of the tweet:

[herding cats]

15. The implication is it's a satellite image of Trump.

If it actually is, and he recalls the moment in time, he's going to be peeing his pants.

A slightly clearer image.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

21. That looks like the shadow of a stealth bomber flying overhead.

KY...............

[herding cats]

29. Yep. 🤣

As far as tolling goes it wasn't bad.

[SunSeeker]

38. I think it is supposed to be a drone.

Iran does apparently have a flying wing UCAV (unmanned combat aerial vehicle), the "Seaghehe 2," shaped like the shadow in the picture.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

39. So they superimposed that shadow onto the golf photo to get attention.

Iran is getting (more) desperate.

Please world, no wars during Joe's tenure....or ever! That's the very last thing the world needs these days.....

KY

[SunSeeker]

40. We DEFINITELY shouldn't start a war over a trolling post on Twitter. nt

[EX500rider]

43. Iran has no space surveillance satellites nt

[pandr32]

18. LOL!

Look at that shadow. Trump will recognize whether that is one of his greens or not.

[orleans]

16. after reading this i'm thinking

please don't make us defend that asshole (trump)
because i believe that if trump was attacked by a foreign country the u.s. would be/feel obligated to side with trump simply bc he is a citizen

[flying_wahini]

22. Really agree but I think they are just trolling him.

LOL!

Suits me fine if he is sweating it after everything he did.

[birdographer]

30. Yeah....

He is a citizen, but only via his birth certificate. Citizens don't set out to purposely destroy their own country. I do not consider him in any way an American citizen. I would not side with him. I would not side with them. I'd say you reap what you sow and I'd go back to what I was doing. (You are clearly a better person than I am, I will admit that...)

[Polybius]

33. Biden would almost have no choice but to retaliate

We can't just let foreign leaders enter our airspace and kill people.

[Jimbo S]

24. "FORE!"

or should I say "INCOMING!"?

[Harker]

27. I've often thought, when Trumpsky and Graham were golfing

that it would be great if someone shot a hole in one.

[birdographer]

31. LOL!

I saw what you did there.

[Harker]

32. Or both!

[SpankMe]

34. I've seen the posted image. Totally fake.

Iran has Photoshopped images before to bolster the perception of their capabilities. The image is so flawed. it's ridiculous. It a troll job.

[SunSeeker]

35. Of course it's a troll job.

Although Iran does apparently have a flying wing UCAV (unmanned combat aerial vehicle), the "Seaghehe 2," shaped like the shadow in the picture.

[NurseJackie]

37. Oh dear! That *would* be a shame.

It could start a war.

[BlueStater]

44. I couldn't give a fuck less about Trump himself, but killing him would lead to a war.

I’d hate to see any US soldiers or innocent civilians die in a war created with the purpose of avenging Donald Trump.

So, yeah, they’d better protect his worthless ass.
