"It needs to remind evil Pompeo that in Iran, unlike the oligarchy of the Wild West cowboys, Leaders are appointed & beloved of the majority of people & say nothing but what nation wants,” Shamkhani tweeted late on Wednesday.

Khamenei.ir website on Wednesday released a poster, which showed people celebrating a free Palestine. The top of the poster read: "Palestine will be free. The final solution: Resistance until referendum".

Pompeo condemned the poster, accusing Iranian officials of practicing “anti-Semitism”.

The top Iranian official in his tweet added, “BTW, we are not anti-Semitic, we are at war with criminals, usurpers, and child killers”.
