Ayatollah Khamenei Trolls U.S. Race Relations on Twitter
Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, or the intern who runs his Twitter account, spent his Sunday evening trolling U.S. race relations in response to the situation in Ferguson. This is a continuation of his tweets from two days ago, when he even made use of the #Ferguson hashtag.
Racial discrimination is still a dilemma in the U.S. #Ferguson

Iranian Prime Minister Hassan Rouhani has at times used his English-language Twitter account to attempt to soften Iran’s image. Khamenei, not so much.
