President Trump has a new target for his
Twitter ire — Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.Khamenei on Friday morning called Trump a "clown" who is only pretending to support Iran's people, and criticized the Trump-authorized killing of top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. In Khamenei's first time leading Friday prayers at the Mosella mosque in Tehran since 2012, he said Iran's retaliatory
missile strikes were a "slap on the face" to the U.S. that demonstrated Iran's "power."Trump responded with a tweet on Friday evening, adding the zinger that Khamenei had "not been so Supreme lately."
Aside from the schoolyard taunt, Trump threw in a vague threat, noting Khamenei "should be very careful with his words!" That will surely calm the simmering tensions between the two nations.
