Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's publishes animated video of operation to eliminate Trump

13 Jan 2022
Iran's supreme leader has released an animated video on his official website depicting the assassination of former US President Donald Trump in a targeted drone strike.

The video, posted late on Wednesday on Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's Farsi website, appears to show Trump on a golf course at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, being targeted in a drone strike to mark the killing of Qassem Soleimani, a top Iranian military commander, in January 2020.

Soleimani, the shadowy top commander of the IRGC's Quds Force, was responsible ​​for Iran's clandestine overseas operations and was often seen on battlefields guiding Iraqi Shia groups in the war against the Islamic State group (IS).

A January 2020 US drone strike destroyed a convoy carrying Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy leader of Iraq's Hashd al-Shaabi coalition of pro-Iranian armed groups, as well as others at Baghdad airport.

Wednesday’s video mirrored a propaganda poster released last year calling for revenge over Soleimani's death and which also showed Trump on a golf course.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has said Trump must face trial for the killing, or Tehran would take revenge.(MEE)
