Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has publicly expressed support for American university students participating in pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests, claiming they are on the 'right side of history.' Khamenei's endorsement has sparked significant backlash, with critics highlighting Iran's status as a leading state sponsor of terrorism. Many commentators argue that aligning with Khamenei, whose regime is known for human rights abuses, misogynistic and homophobic policies, and supporting terrorist organizations, places these students on the 'wrong side of history.' The endorsement has raised concerns about the implications of such support and the motivations behind these protests.
It is a major problem that the leader of a terrorist regime is endorsing the recent behavior seen on our college campuses. Students, and the world, need to recognize how troubling this endorsement is. https://t.co/suWODInTNY

Do you know what The Ayatollah regime The Assad regime Hezbollah Hamas the Houthis And, apparently, American university students have in common? They Are the pillars of the Axis of resistance, according to the Ayatollah 👇 https://t.co/xEjm4lmMIY https://t.co/qB3YI2EJK2
Iran's Ayatollah leads chants of "Death to America" and sponsors terrorism that has killed Americans. These college protesters need to educate themselves about who and what they're associating with... "Resistance Front" refers to U.S. students as Iranian terrorist proxies. https://t.co/hzIj74Jxsg
Iran is an evil regime that ruthlessly oppresses its people, crushes civil liberties, and openly wants to destroy freedom and the United States. If Iran’s leader is standing with you, you’re on the WRONG side of history. https://t.co/e90SYkRWlH
A ringing endorsement for the encampment empire by the dictator of Iran, who is a supporter of terrorism across the world. This makes it clear exactly who stands on the wrong side of history and is against the values of America. https://t.co/zSit9VikpO
Dear university students in the United States of America, you are kegstanding on the right side of history https://t.co/zUZkJEuFQz https://t.co/Pw0mwqHQRv
When brutal dictator responsible for mass death & destruction - women executed for not wearing head scarves, repression, countless innocents killed worldwide by terror orgs funded by his government - commends you as pro-Hamas protester, you know what side of history you're on. https://t.co/Iy0m9s4GyX https://t.co/trmELrphUN
A note to the Hamas sympathizers on college campuses: If your anti-Israeli rhetoric puts you in good company with the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, it’s time to rethink your priorities. https://t.co/7k6q9wHDWu
The Ayatollah Thanks You https://t.co/dC0xhT9DAy

Iran is a theocratic dictatorship that represses, persecutes, and kills its own people. Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in this world. If this guy is supporting you, you are definitely on the WRONG side of history. https://t.co/XJiYne2nBW
Hamas, the Ayatollah regime, and Al-Qaeda all stand with Pro-Hamas university students! Solidarity between the evil and the uneducated.
For heaven's sake Ayatollah Khamenei whose regime has oppressed millions for decades is not on the right side of history. He's on the far-right side of history. https://t.co/HlrrZyvii8

If a regime that sponsors most of the terrorist organizations around the world is on your side, you're on the wrong side. @Columbia.

Dear university students in America. You have an ally in the Ayatollah in Tehran, I'm sure he would be happy to welcome you to his country. https://t.co/cBbl1pH43O
I don’t think most of protesting US college students, or some Democrats, mind Khamenei’s endorsement. They probably see it as a badge of honor to be praised by this “native, indigenous, anti imperial, anti capitalism, anti democracy” tyrant. https://t.co/6MGTxeBjlC

This should be clear as day, but if you are standing on the side of this man - the leader of a terrorist regime who kills his own people - you are on the wrong side of history. https://t.co/iamZ1iGDzC

Nice work, Students for Justice in Palestine! You have won the praise of a mass murdering terrorist leader whose regime held 52 American hostages for 444 days. I am sure he would welcome you to Iran if you’d like to move there. Please. https://t.co/eI58MGBxIB

When your actions are supported by the #Iranian butchers, maybe it's time to take a good, hard look in the mirror. This man is the chief purveyor of terror on the planet. Is this who you want to be standing with? ##AmYisraelChai https://t.co/A0ixbXErj0
