Yesterday, in response to yet another one of Ayatollah Khamenei’s tweets promising the complete destruction of my home country I had a thought. Aside from, “this is the guy the US is about to give billions of dollars to”, I also thought… “isn’t this against Twitter’s terms of use?”
One good that comes out of these horrible tweets is that it gives the world a view to the most evil intentions of this regime. But his tweets aren’t meant for us. We’re not his target audience. His tweets are meant for the hundreds of thousands of people who don’t want to wait even 25 days for Israel’s destruction let alone the 25 years he claims. So you know what? Screw him and his Twitter account. This is dangerous.
The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has abused and continues to abuse the Twitter rules by making constant threats of violence and terrorism against the State of Israel. Twitter posts the following in its terms of use:

- Report the Twitter account @khamenei_ir to Twitter.
There are more than enough tweets that clearly violate the Twitter rules to make our case.
Twitter will need examples of violations so here is a “worst of” collection to get you started:
