Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei mocked the U.S. election on Tuesday in a televised address and criticized President Donald Trump’s concerns about the potential for election fraud.
According to the Associated Press, Khamenei said, “If you look at their own situation, it’s interesting to watch. The incumbent president, who is supposed to hold the elections, says this is the most-rigged U.S. election throughout history. Who says this? The sitting president who is arranging the elections himself. His opponent says Trump intends to widely cheat. This is American democracy.”
Khamenei’s comment that the sitting president is “arranging the elections himself” does not take into account that individual U.S. states are in charge of their respective election processes.
Khamenei also repeated the Iranian position that it does not matter whether Trump or Joe Biden wins the election and said the result of the vote “is none of our business, meaning it won’t influence our policy at all. Our policy is clear and well-calculated and people coming and going will have no impact on it.”
