Irans supreme leader has described Donald Trump as a clown who only pretends to support the Iranian people but will push a poisonous dagger into their backs, as he struck a defiant tone in his first Friday sermon in Tehran in eight years.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the mass funerals for Irans top general, who was killed in a US strike earlier this month, show that the Iranian people support the Islamic Republic despite its recent trials. The cowardly killing of Qassem Suleimani had taken out the most effective commander in the battle against the Islamic State group, he said.
In response, Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles targeting US troops in Iraq, without causing serious injuries. Khamenei said the strike had dealt a blow to Americas image as a superpower. In part of the sermon delivered in Arabic, he said the real punishment would be in forcing the US to withdraw from the Middle East.

Clown? Wonder how soon the Ayatollah becomes il douche's new best friend. Personal insults worked for the dork leader in North Korea
Fitting name 'Dotard the Clown' (evil clown)

(9,117 posts)Was that he supposedly made the US an object of ridicule. Twenty-plus years later they vote for a guy mocked in public like Syrias Assad, Koreas Kim, Irans Supreme Ayatollah, and in private by Vladimir Putin and the rest of the developed world.
