Twitter bans account linked to Iran's leader over video threatening Donald Trump

Twitter banned an account linked to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after it posted a video threatening former US president Donald Trump.

Twitter said Saturday it had permanently suspended an account linked to Iran's supreme leader that posted a video calling for revenge for a top general's assassination against former US president Donald Trump.

"The account referenced has been permanently suspended for violating our ban evasion policy," a Twitter spokesperson told AFP.
