The Supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has taunted the rancorous aftermath of the election day in the United States, adding that the election has exposed the reality of the United States’ democracy.
Just after 24 hours that the last polling stations was closed in Alaska, a US state, the battle for the White House has not been decided.
The US President Donald Trump has caused the rancorous moment even among the leaders of his own Republican Party by flatly alleging fraud, while his democratic challenger Joe Biden’s campaign team has alleged that the incumbent is trying to deny the electoral rights of ten of thousands of postal voters.
On Wednesday, the supreme leader of the Islamic country tweeted, “What a spectacle!”
“One says this is the most fraudulent election in US history. Who says that? The president who is currently in office.
“His rival says Trump intends to rig the election! This is how #USElections & US democracy are.”

Despite the allegation from US that Tehran is planning to use social media to influence voters in the run-up to the polling day, Iran’s leadership has publicly insisted it that it has no support for neither candidate. Despite the US quick divergent towards Iran.
Trump has championed a campaign of “maximum pressure” against the Islamic republic, pulling Washington out of a multilateral deal on Iran’s nuclear programme and reimposing crippling unilateral sanctions.
Biden has signalled he is ready to rejoin the landmark nuclear agreement struck in 2015 when he served as vice president under Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama.
But on Tuesday, Khamenei insisted the outcome of the election would have no impact on Iranian policy.
