Iran Supreme Leader Snoke Seyed Ali Khamenei is tweeting for the 40th anniversary of the Islamic revolution, with much of his ire directed at the U.S.
First up, we’re funding ISIS:
Our main enemy—the U.S. regime—leads the most corrupt and oppressive govt. According to news we’ve received, they’re still supporting ISIS and the like. They support the Saudi tyrannical ruling family in their crimes against #Yemen, & support Zionist atrocities in #Palestine.

Well, duh. It’s 4D chess.
And he’s still a fan of the Black Lives Matter movement:
The U.S. gov. commits oppression inside the U.S., too. U.S. police murder black women, men, & children for no justifiable reason, and the murderers are acquitted in U.S. courts. This is their judicial system! And they slam other countries’ and our country’s judicial system. #BLM

But here’s where it gets funny: Khamenei dared President Trump to get tougher on Iran, like Ronald Reagan:
Reagan was both wiser and more powerful than Trump. They took measures against Iran: they shot down one of our passenger aircrafts. But where is Reagan, and how powerful is the Islamic Republic now?

Um, OK? Be careful what you wish for.
He ended the tweet storm with this:
U.S. govt spends a tremendous amount of money on sowing discord among people, and takes up the wealth of rich rulers in the region. By God’s Grace— they should know— we will progress powerfully. By God’s will, we will disappoint U.S. on all arenas.
