Not long after the anniversary of the death of one of Iran's military leaders, the country's leader has put out a video vowing 'revenge.'
Call of Duty-
style graphics, the video shows a clueless Trump hanging out at his Mar-a-Lago golf resort in Palm Beach, while an Iranian drone operator locks onto the former President’s location to guide what we can only assume is a heat-seeking missile down onto his head. The video, which appears to have been generated via some sort of Iranian state-backed contest, was shared widely on social media. You can check it out below:
The fictional execution in the video happens to reference a real one: the killing of Qasem Soleimani, the much beloved general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and commander of its elite Quds Force, whoby the Trump administration in January of 2020 via a targeted drone strike at Baghdad International Airport.
Khamenei’s video was put out a little over a week after the anniversary of Soleimani’s death and, in it, the drone operator can be seen getting instructions to make sure that “those who killed” the general “pay the price” for what they’ve done.
