An Iranian dissident called on Twitter to ban Iran�s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei from its platform following the social media giant’s ban of US President Donald Trump.

Journalist Maish Alinejad, an Iranian-born journalist, now living in exile in New York City, told The Jerusalem Post that �a close review of these accounts in multiple languages, which include Persian, English, Spanish and Arabic, shows that Khamenei has repeatedly violated Twitter rules.”

“Even today, @Khamenei_ir account announced a ban on COVID-19 vaccines from the US and the European companies and blamed the French for giving Iran blood tainted with HIV virus.�

Now it�s time for @Twitter to remove the man who has banned 83 million Iranians from Twitter, bans US & European coronavirus vaccines and ordered the crackdown that killed 1,500 protesters. Remove @Khamenei_fa now pic.twitter.com/xw0RAboIh9

In October, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey admitted that Trump is the only world leader it has censored.

�It�s strange to me that you�ve flagged tweets from the president but haven�t hidden the Ayatollah�s tweets on Holocaust denial or calls to wipe Israel off the map,� Senator Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) said to Dorsey at a Senate hearing. �Millions of people died and that�s not a violation of Twitter?�

Following the hearing, Khamenei tweeted: �Why is it a crime to raise doubts about the Holocaust?�

The Simon Weisenthal Center responded to Kahameni, writing: �No, Ayatollah � the real question is why Twitter gives you a free pass to use their platform to push your genocidal threats of a Final Solution against the world�s largest Jewish community � the democratic state of Israel.�
