Twitter has permanently suspended an account linked to Iran’s supreme leader after it promoted a video depicting the assassination of former President Donald Trump, according to a report.
“The referenced account has been permanently suspended for violating our ban evasion policy,” a Twitter spokesperson told Agence France-Presse on Saturday, referring to the @KhameneiSite account.
The social media giant said its top priority is keeping people safe and protecting the health of conversations on the platform.
The account, linked to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, posted animated drone video last week targeting Trump as he golfed near Mar-a-Lago, his Florida resort.
The clip called for revenge for the death of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the elite Quds Force who was killed in a Trump-ordered drone strike near Baghdad airport on January 3, 2020.
In the video, titled “Revenge is Definite,” a robot spots Trump playing golf with a small group and calls out a drone strike.
Moments before the drone hits Trump, wearing a red cap, and what appears to be former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, they receive a text message that reads, “Solemani killer and whoever gave the order will pay the price”.
Khamenei has repeatedly vowed to assassinate Trump for the killing of Iran’s top general.
The former president, who was suspended by Twitter over his Capitol riot posts, and his followers urged the platform to take action against Iran for calling for violence against Israel and the United States. United.
Other accounts associated with Khamenei are still online.
