Iran’s Supreme Leader Puts Out Animated Video of Donald Trump Getting Droned

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, not too long ago posted an animated video to his website depicting former President Donald Trump getting nailed by a drone strike.

Featuring Call of Duty-type graphics, the video reveals a clueless Trump hanging out at his Mar-a-Lago golf resort in Palm Beach, whereas an Iranian drone operator locks onto the previous President’s location to information what we will solely assume is a heat-seeking missile down onto his head.

The video, which seems to have been generated through some kind of Iranian state-backed contest, was shared extensively on social media. You can test it out beneath:

The fictional execution within the video occurs to reference an actual one: the killing of Qasem Soleimani, the a lot beloved common of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and commander of its elite Quds Force, who was assassinated by the Trump administration in January of 2020 through a focused drone strike at Baghdad International Airport.

Khamenei’s video was put out a little bit over every week after the anniversary of Soleimani’s loss of life and, in it, the drone operator could be seen getting directions to guarantee that “those who killed” the overall “pay the price” for what they’ve achieved. 

The killing of Soleimani induced an outpouring of grief in Iran, and was additionally broadly criticized within the worldwide neighborhood as an unnecessary operation—and potentially illegal. The Trump administration defended its decision to kill Soleimani, claiming that the overall was within the strategy of “plotting imminent and sinister attacks” on American personnel on the time of his loss of life.

Since then, Khamenei has made quite a few not-so-veiled threats towards Trump and those that ordered the overall’s killing. About a yr in the past, the Supreme Leader tweeted out an image that equally confirmed Trump on his golf course with the shadow of what seems like a Predator drone looming over his head.

Concerning for Trump? Uh, in all probability not. Still, it’s by no means enjoyable to have somebody go to the difficulty of animating depictions of your demise after which share them with the world.
