A video uploaded to the official website of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in 2022 is currently facing renewed examination following the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) posted, “This was posted on the Ayatollah’s website. Truly, terrifyingly chilling.”
Donald Trump Jr. also posted:
This was posted on the Ayatollah’s website. I guess we should expect nothing less from a terrorist regime. My father had Iran almost bankrupt… then the Biden/Harris administration game them billions making the world a far more dangerous place. Enough! pic.twitter.com/THucg4ASID

The animation presents a narrative centered around a conspiracy to assassinate Trump at his golf course in Palm Beach, while expressing a desire for retribution against the former president for his decision to authorize a lethal military strike against General Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force. This strike, ordered by Trump in 2020, was a response to a series of assaults on U.S. forces in Iraq that occurred in late 2019. Soleimani was implicated in the deaths and injuries of numerous American soldiers during the Iraq War.
