Iran’s Supreme Leader has found the reason for socio-economic problems in the United States.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei claimed that the Americans’ problems are due to Israel’s “domination” of the United States’ government.
“Brutal treatment of black ppl isn’t indeed the only anti-human rights act by US govt; look at US’s green light to #Israel’s crimes.#Ferguson,” read one tweet.
“The day when American nation realize their socioeconomic problems stem from domination of #Israel over their govt, what’ll happen? #Ferguson,” Khamenei wrote in another one.
“The US govt has subjugated a great nation w massive resources to a criminal regime like #Israel,” a third tweet read.
Khamenei has called for Israel’s destruction several times in the past. Recently, the Iranian leader accused Israel of having "no limit or boundaries regarding viciousness, cruelty, and trampling underfoot all human standards and ethnics. Crimes, genocide, mass destruction, the killing of children, women and the homeless...they take pride in."
He previously said on Twitter that the Israel government was “the most wicked terrorist” in the world.
Khamenei has also called Israel an "illegitimate and bastard regime," and further called the United States a "smiling enemy" that is not to be trusted.
His last Twitter tirade against Israel came last month, when he referred to Israel as “barbaric” and called to arm Palestinian Arabs in Judea and Samaria.
