President Trump’s immigration order shows “the true face of America,” Iran’s supreme ruler said in a series of tweets Tuesday morning.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei tweeted that Trump has been beneficial to Iran because he shows what America truly is and he is doing “the job for us.”
“New #POTUS says Iran should’ve appreciated Obama! How come? Appreciate him for #DAESH, war in Iraq &Syria or public support for 2009 unrest?” Khamenei tweeted.
“#Trump says be scared of me! No, Iranians will respond to such words with Feb. 10 rallies & will show what is their position toward threats. We appreciate Trump! Because he largely did the job for us in revealing true face of America. What we’ve been saying in thirty some years – of corruption in US government – #Trump has outspokenly said during his campaign & in office.”
He added, “Now #Trump with actions like handcuffing a 5-year-old kid, shows what the truth of US is & what American human rights means! #MuslimBan”

Trump has used Twitter to rattle sabers with Iran in the last week, jabbing at Iran for violating a United Nations resolution by testing a ballistic missile and warning the Islamic Republic to behave.
On Tuesday, he said Iran is the top state sponsor of terror and compared Obama’s diplomatic relationship with Iran to media coverage of his praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
