Iran’s supreme leader mocked mercilessly after bizarre social media posts resurface
By Emily Crane
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is being mocked mercilessly over a slew of bizarre social media posts that resurfaced as the Israel-Iran war broke out — including his musings about treating a woman right and even being “naughty&playful” as a school kid.
The odd posts — most of which are typed out in SMS-style abbreviations — date back at least a decade and are in stark contrast to the anti-Israel and war rhetoric that fills his social media feed now.
In one from 2013, Khamenei recalled trying to be the class clown in clerical robes, writing: “I went 2school w/a cloak since1st days;it was uncomfortable 2wear it in front f other kids, but I tried 2make up 4it by being naughty&playful.”

“Born to be playboi carti, forced to be ayatollah,” another chimed in.
