Iran’s supreme leader slams US election

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, took to Twitter on Wednesday to slam the U.S. presidential campaign.

{mosads}Khamenei said the race and the issues being discussed were the “typical result of lack of spirituality & faith among those in power.” He used the popular #debate hashtag and in a second tweet also went after the U.S. media.

“One of the 2 main US presidential candidates will lead a country which has power, wealth & highest number of nukes & world’s biggest media!” he added.

Khamenei has weighed in on U.S. politics before, tweeting multiple times in 2014 about race relations in America.

Today like previous years, African-Americans are still under pressure, oppressed and subjected to discrimination. #Ferguson

He also used Twitter to criticize the landmark nuclear deal reached last year between Iran and international powers.
