Some Iranians knew Ayatollah Khamenei before he became Supreme Leader, described him as a, quote, closet moderate. Look, that is sick. This is the same Ayatollah who regularly chants, death to America and death to Israel. This is the same Ayatollah that set the goal of creating nuclear weapons, I believe, for the purpose of using those nuclear weapons. This is the same Ayatollah who is responsible for.
