Iranian Supreme Leader Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei was blasted on Friday by President Donald Trump after Khamenei decided to attack Trump directly on Twitter over Trump’s advocacy for the Iranian people.

Khamenei made his remarks in response to a tweet from Trump on January 11, which stated: “To the brave, long-suffering people of Iran: I’ve stood with you since the beginning of my Presidency, and my Administration will continue to stand with you. We are following your protests closely, and are inspired by your courage.”
