Yea seen a video of him singing a song rocking in the free world in Ukraine

[Alihach]

Crazy how the Americans give him the title supreme leader when ayotallah literally translates to religious leader in Farsi

[Moripotato]

he talks about sanctions. As an Iranian living under sanctions, I tell you this. Sanctions ONLY have an effect on ordinary people. We suffer not the Ayatollahs! So I am not sure what the end goal is here.

[sunflowerz]

Please Pray for World Peace!!! Thank you

[joyceeddy]

Are you still rocky on the free world in Ukraine band

[mohammadhassansattari]

Persia and the United States are old friends.

Blinken you lie with no ends, sanctions with no enforcement policy means nothing and you know damn well.
