Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, recently posted an animated video on his website depicting former President Donald Trump being nailed by a drone strike.

Featuring Call of Duty-style graphics, the video shows an unsuspecting Trump hanging out at his Mar-a-Lago golf resort in Palm Beach, while an Iranian drone operator locks the location of former Presidents to guide we can only assume heat. -looking the missile down at his head.

The video, which appears to have been generated by some sort of Iranian state -supported contest, was widely shared on social media. You can check it out below:

The fictional execution in the video takes place referring to a real one: the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, the most beloved general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and commander of its elite Quds Force, who was assassinated by the Trump administration in January of 2020 by targeted drone strike at Baghdad International Airport.

The Khameneis video was released a little over a week after the anniversary of Soleimanis ’death and, in it, sees the drone operator taking instructions to ensure those who killed the general would pay the price for what they did.

Soleimani’s assassination has caused an outpouring of grief in Iran, and has also been widely criticized in the international community as an unnecessary operation and potentially illegal. The Trump administration defended its decision to kill Soleimani, saying the general was in the process of planning imminent and vicious attacks on American personnel at the time of his death.

Since then, Khamenei has made many less veiled threats against Trump and those who ordered the generals to be killed. About a year ago, the Supreme Leader tweeted a photo similar to that that showed Trump on his golf course with the shadow of what looked like a drone hovering over his head.

About Trump? Probably not. However, it’s not fun to have someone who has difficulty animating descriptions of your death.

On Thursday, Biden Administration press secretary Jen Psaki was asked about the video at a press conference and said the video was offensive but could not determine whether the U.S. intelligence community was looking into the matter or not.
