Mike Pompeo
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Said Khatibzadeh explained the altercation between US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei with the fury of an American politician. He speculated about this on Twitter.
According to an Iranian foreign policy official, after the defeat of US President Donald Trump, Pompeo will soon find himself in the “margins of history” and annoyed at the need to leave the headquarters of the State Department after 2.5 years of “one unfortunate failure after another.” “The policy of maximum pressure has failed, as have the outgoing charlatans behind it,” Khatibzadeh added.
Earlier, Pompeo got into a skirmish with the supreme leader of Iran on Twitter over the statement of the latter about the American presidential elections. Khamenei called the US presidential election a spectacle and an example of “the ugly face of liberal democracy.” In response, Pompeo accused Khamenei of “personally stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from his people.”
On November 7, Democratic candidate Joe Biden won 290 against the required 270 electoral votes. Having secured his victory, Biden proclaimed himself the president-elect of the United States. Trump, in turn, said that the elections are not officially over yet, and the results will be appealed in court.
