Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei again promised revenge for the assassination of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani — this time with a picture of a golfer echoing former President Donald Trump standing in the shadow of a military aircraft.

"Those who ordered the murder of General Soleimani as well as those who carried this out should be punished. This revenge will certainly happen at the right time," the tweet from Thursday reads. "Revenge is certain."

Or in Arabic, like it was originally written:

?انتقام حتمی است

قاتل سلیمانی و آمر به قتل سلیمانی باید انتقامشان را پس بدهند.

اگر چه کفش پای سلیمانی هم بر سرِ قاتل او شرف دارد؛ اما بالاخره غلطی کردند، بایستی #انتقام پس بدهند؛ #هم آمر_هم_قاتل بدانند که در هر زمان ممکن باید انتقامشان را پس بدهند. ۱۳۹۹/۰۹/۲۶ pic.twitter.com/i2DYpPSBhw

Trump in January 2020 ordered a drone strike in Baghdad that assassinated Soleimani, who headed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps's Quds Force, and Abu Mahdi al Muhandis, the Iraqi commander of the Popular Mobilization Forces.

Soleimani was held by the United States to be accountable for the killing of hundreds of U.S. troops in Iraq. Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and Secretary of Defense Mark Esper announced at the time that the U.S. struck Soleimani to counter "imminent threats to American lives."

The text reflects a tweet Khamenei posted in December last year, before the one-year anniversary of Soleimani's death.

Anxieties in the area have worsened since 2018 when Trump removed the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear agreement. Since then, Iran has slowly ramped up its production of enriched uranium and seized a South Korean oil tanker before the sanctions negotiations. Tensions reached a crescendo in late November, when an Iranian nuclear scientist who initiated the country's military nuclear program was likewise assassinated. Iranian officials accused Israel of the attack and promised revenge.

Khamenei's tweets have met criticism in the past, particularly from GOP politicians who insist that Twitter does not censor foreign leaders in the same way that it does conservatives in the U.S.

Twitter on a number of occasions flagged or completely taken off tweets from Trump throughout his presidency and permanently banned his account after the Jan. 6 siege on Capitol Hill, but has passed tweets from Khamenei that call for violence against Israel.

Twitter did take off a tweet from Khamenei in which he insisted that the U.S. and the United Kingdom could be producing coronavirus vaccines "to contaminate other nations," according to Reuters.
