Twitter banned the Khamenei account that posted this, although his main account still remains. If the Iranians manage to follow through on this threat, Leftists all over the United States will cheer. This is revealing in all sorts of ways, but of course no one in the establishment media will stop cheering long enough to ponder its implications.
“Revenge for US assassination of General Soleimani certain: Imam Khamenei’s website (+Poster),” Ahlul Bayt News Agency, January 23, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The official website of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has 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.
The image, which was posted on the Khamenei.ir website on Friday, carried the text of remarks by Ayatollah Khamenei in December on the occasion of the first martyrdom anniversary of General Soleimani, in which he said “Revenge is certain.”
“The assassin of Soleimani and the one who ordered the murder should be punished,” the text read.
“As a esteemed person said, Soleimani’s shoe is worth more than the assassin’s head and even decapitation of the assassin will not compensate for Soleimani’s shoe; but they did the wrong thing,” it added.
“They should be punished. The one who ordered and the assassin should know that they should be punished at any time possible.”
General Soleimani was assassinated along with his Iraqi trenchmate Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Units, and their companions in a US terror drone strike authorized by Trump near Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020.
The two figures were highly popular because of the key role they played in eliminating the US-sponsored Daesh terrorist group in the region.
On December 16, Ayatollah Khamenei said revenge for Iran’s senior commander is certain and will be exacted at the right time.
During a meeting, which was also presented by members of General Soleimani’s family, the Leader stated that a tougher slap will still await the arrogant powers by defeating them in the software sector through the efforts of revolutionary youth and faithful elite, and by expelling the United States from the region through the joint efforts of countries that are part of the resistance front….

I don’t like Frankie Boyle .. he is often seems controversial just for the sake of being controversial
but I think he had a paint when he said :
‘Britain to defend itself by bombing IS,
in the same way you defend yourself from a wasps’ nest by hitting it with a stick”
mortimer says
No, AD. The ‘hornets’ are the mullahs who control an entire country. They are ‘riled up’ not because of what Western countries have done, but because they want to commit GENOCIDE against Israel.
They are already ‘mad’ without provocation … because Allah hates Jews and kafirs.
The issue of General Soleimani is a different one. Soleimani was a career soldier following the orders of the Iranian mullahs. He knew that his job was a dangerous one and he accepted the risks as do all soldiers.
The Iranian mullahs are trying to make the death of Soleimani a personal matter, when it is a matter between governments. Iran is waging war against the United States and against Israel.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Mortimer. The Mullahs are actually more of a danger if they are appeased.
Ade Fegan says
I wouldn’t suggest appeasing them for a second … my strategy would be to expose the religion for what it is and NEVER cover up for any of it’s atrocities (such is the bigoted greasy islamophobe that I am !)

We know Khamanie is responsible for killing our soldiers in the Iraq and Afghanistan. Now they have given refugee to the Taliban regime of Afghanistan. We know that fact everything happens in the Persian Gulf is Iran behind it. All the time any attacks on USA green zones is proxies to Iran does it. We are sick and tired of this terrorist regime that took hostages, Iranian are hostages to this mafia Islamic regime. So I tell you Khamanie dayoos shut the hell up.
mortimer says
Khamenei and Biden are pals.
As the old saying goes: ‘show me your friends and I’ll know who you are.’
Joe is the friend of oligarchs who pay his family cash.

Alzheimer Joe needs to be careful.
very old white guy says
If anything happens top Trump all democrats need to be very careful. Iran just may cease to exist if such an action is taken.

John Kerry’s daughter is married to a senior MULLAH’s son.
Mojdeh says
We ask Facebook and Twitter Instagram’s ban all Terrorist regime accounts ASAP; or we will boycott you.
Khamanie, Javad Zarif and Rohani, and all accounts belong to terrorist regime of Iran.
mortimer says
Twitter will become an echo chamber of like-minded people who mechanically repeat the party line of Leftist-Globalism.
Wellington says
Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if dimwit Biden, encouraged by aides aplenty already directing him in pathetic and even dangerous fashion (e.g., Susan Rice, who is now head of the nothing organization which is the Domestic Policy Council) disallows Secret Service protection to Trump because there seems to be no limit to which the decrepit Democratic Party will not stoop to.
Think rogues like Schumer, Pelosi, AOC, the execrable Omar and Tlaib, the despicable Brennan, Comey, Clapper, Schiff, McCabe, Rosenstein, et al. would mind Trump being taken out by the Iranians? If so, think again.
Infidel says
I do think that they’re both stupid and evil enough to try it, and I also think that it would provoke a civil war which neither the Dems nor the establishment ‘Republicans’ would be capable of stopping, particularly if there is an attack on Trump
Wellington says
Perhaps, Infidel, but the pathological hatred for Trump by the Left leaves nothing off the table, including the Left’s own best self-interests.
Westman says
I see something much larger than the left’s persecution of Trump. They are also demanding the persecution and punishing of his voters.
This is nothing less than a return to a modern version of a Feudal System where a new “upper class” is defining itself as such. It has called for the reduction of rights for those who don’t agree with it, using terms, vulgar language, and invectives to define them as inferior. It even wishes to destroy the employment and future of “wrong thinkers”. This is the very system that the Founding Fathers rejected in creating the United States where every citizen was to be of equal value to the society. The US now has a political apartheid movement not so unlike Islamic apartheid of believers vs unbelievers. We have already seen the nation’s first political prisoners. What’s next?
Check Burry says
Even half of 73 mill is a formidable army, well armed too, Barratts etc over shoulder I saw
john smith says
There will be an all out effort by the mullahs to take out Trump now that Biden is in power.
They are aware of the hate the Dems have for him and will feel confident of no reprisals.

…………….
Yet it is President Trump who had his Twitter account canceled…
mortimer says
Big Tech will regret offending the many decent supporters of President Trump. They want a leader who is not taking bribes from other countries.
Chicom agent, Sleepy Joe has only just begun to sell out his country and the freedoms in the Constitution.
Under Sleepy Joe’s inattention and cognitive decline, Big Tech will censor all the conservative thought that they can.
Infidel says
And yet, according to some reports, he continues to allow Jared Kushner to dissuade him from opening accounts on Gab or (previously) Parler, on the grounds that those are fringe sites. Jared hasn’t figured out as yet that even Twitter is a fringe site, increasingly dominated by the Left
mortimer says
Agree. Twitter is now a totally partisan company whose CEO announced he will target all conservatives who say anything that is politically incorrect or even argue against a Dem policy. This is political persecution.
john smith says
Yes Gravenimage, revenge is definite
Andy Turner says
idiot
gravenimage says
How so? Iran is indeed threatening revenge.
albertayyc says
Ah yes, The Religion of Peace makes direct threats to President Trump and the U.S. military (who made the assassination a reality). Perhaps Trump should stay clear of people with canes or folded umbrellas.
And the shadow on the Khamenei picture? Looks more like a kite to me.
Reziac says
It looks like a B-2 shadow, badly photoshopped (along with the clouds, note the lefthand wing is partially transparent and the clouds are at ground level) onto the golf course pic.

mortimer says
When General Soleimani was bombed, he was planning attacks on Americans in Iraq. He was a legitimate target in a war … as would be any other Iranian soldier who was planning to kill Americans.

Given that the FBI (A) plotted to bring down the Trump administration and (B) also encouraged jihadis to target a free speech event in Garland, Texas, where their intention was to murder Geert Wilders, Pam Geller, and Robert Spencer – it would actually be surprising if some of the deranged and lawless Democrats who infest the upper echelons of the FBI and CIA, weren’t already (C) fantasising together Strozk/Page-style about how they could “accidentally-on-purpose” put Trump in harm’s way.

Indeed. When Trump is silent, that’s when his enemies had best beware.

Trump has a history of being ahead of the game.
howie smith says
“Ahead of the game” as in bankrupting a casino? The former self proclaimed pu**y-grabber- in- chief was and is a loser both as a businessman and as a leader of our nation.
Footnote to RS: Stick to your knitting. You deserve great respect for your scholarship in your field of expertise. When you express your domestic political opinions your views are myopic, rendered seriously flawed by your inability to clearly see the entire picture through your Islam-tinted glasses .
gravenimage says
Why is David Darmanad–who used to be an Anti-Jihadist–now posting as “howie smith”? Does he hope that readers here will attribute his views to multiple posters?
Johnny B says
Trump vs. Islam and the Democrats. It doesn’t look like a fair fight and of course the Islamist and the left will be crying a lot about it and complaint and demand assistance from the international community. But I admire their courage and bravery 😀
Vladimir says
If anything happens to President Trump while out of office at Islamist hands, this would surely enrage the American people so much that even the Biden Administration would have to take action.
Arnold David Darman says
Ad hominem much? So my auto-fill has different names. An inadvertent and irrelevant choice of auto-fill. What diff does a name make? The point remains: RS undermines his influence when he allows his views on Islam, with which I agree and which I’m grateful to learn, to too heavily color his domestic politics.
gravenimage says
David, are you claiming that you have no control over your own username? This is pretty implausible.
Really, noting the same poster using other usernames is, I believe, quite salient here.
And while you used to post Anti-Jihad comments here on a regular basis, all you have done of late is to castigate Anti-Jihadists like Robert Spencer here.
And even if you abhor Turmp’s politics, it seems that you might consider Iran threatening to murder *any* American president concerning. For instance, Biden was threatened recently, and I found this appalling, despite my disagreeing with Biden on quite a few points.
That you don’t think that Robert Spencer has the right to comment critcally on Iran threatening American presidents is actually quite troubling.
