The website of Iran’s supreme leader has showcased an animated video that shows a robotic vehicle targeting former US president Donald Trump for assassination.

The animated video was made as part of a contest to mark the Jan. 3, 2020, killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was slain in an American drone strike in Baghdad.

The video, posted yesterday on the website of Khamenei’s office, shows Trump, on the golf course at his Mar-a-Lago, Florida home, being targeted by an Iranian drone.

The video mirrors a propaganda poster last year also showing Trump on a golf course, calling for revenge for Soleimani’s slaying.

Earlier this month, Iran’s hardline President Ebrahim Raisi demanded Trump be “prosecuted and killed.”
