Iran’s supreme leader ridicules US over election ‘spectacle’
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has previously said Iran is not concerned about who wins the election.
As ballot counting continues in the US presidential election, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei took to Twitter to mock the state of America’s democracy.
“What a spectacle!” the 81-year-old supreme leader’s unverified account tweeted late Wednesday.
“One says this is the most fraudulent election in US history. Who says that? The president who is currently in office. His rival says Trump intends to rig the election! This is how #USElections & US democracy are,” read the tweet.
Both Khamenei and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani have downplayed the election’s impact on Iran, despite allegations from the US government that hackers for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attempted to interfere in the race.
