Khamenei website posts animation of Trump targeted in strike

The video was released in line with renewed threats from Iran’s hard-line establishment against a hit list of former US officials involved in the killing of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani.

The official website of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei posted late Jan. 12 an animated clip that depicts an attack meant to kill former US President Donald Trump.

The video, titled “Revenge Is Inevitable,” features an entirely remote-controlled operation. In it, a robot bypasses multiple security hurdles while an operator from another location hacks into security cameras, all before a drone is seen hovering over Trump’s head as he is busy playing golf at what is depicted to be his residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
