I had never looked at the Ayatollah Khameini’s Twitter feed until this morning, when Drudge linked to it. Here is the Supreme Leader’s latest tweet, from earlier today:
US president has said he could knock out Iran’s military. We welcome no war, nor do we initiate any war, but.. pic.twitter.com/D4Co7fVuVg

I take it that is President Obama. My own view is that we should be doing all we peacefully can to bring about regime change in Iran, rather than legitimizing, empowering and financing the bloodthirsty Khameini.
Here are a couple more recent tweets by the Supreme Leader. Sadly, his characterizations of the nuclear deal are more accurate than the ones we get from John Kerry and Barack Obama:
12 years of challenge with Iran made six powers accept spinning of thousands of centrifuges and continuation of R&D in nuclear industry.

Nuclear industry R&D is an issue they spent years trying to stop it, but now they’ve written & signed it. It only means #IRAN’s authority.
