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.
