The English-language Twitter page for Iran’s supreme leader is full of crazy tidbits ranging from the newly-announced framework for a nuclear deal to the Islamic State.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s tweets since the announcement of the nuclear framework on April 2, agreed upon by Iran, the U.S. and European allies, actually call out the U.S. for being deceptive and breaching promises.
Far from a turnabout in diplomatic relations, the supreme leader criticizes the U.S. at every turn – even alleging America is “pleased” the Islamic State is killing Muslims.

He appears to reject one of the most critical aspects of any agreement over Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
No unconventional inspection that’d place Iran under special monitoring is acceptable. Foreign monitoring on #Iran’s security isn’t allowed.

Contrary to statements by Secretary of State John Kerry and President Obama economic sanctions against Iran would be lifted as it adhered to the terms of the agreement, Iran’s supreme leader says they should be removed immediately.
All #sanctions should be removed just when the deal is reached. If sanctions removal depends on another process then why we started to talk?

He’s worried the White House is lying.
I trust our negotiators but I'm really worried as the other side is into lying & breaching promises; an example was White House fact sheet.

This White House statement is contrary to the agreement signed in Switzerland, last week, according to the supreme leader.
Hours after the #talks, Americans offered a fact sheet that most of it was contrary to what was agreed.They always deceive &breach promises.

He’s encouraging underdeveloped countries to pursue nuclear weapons.
An underdeveloped country said that if #Iran has enrichment then I want it too! Do it if you can! #Nuclear tech. is our domestic capability.

Unsurprisingly, he predicted U.S. failure in its supporting the Saudi-led offensive against Iran-backed, Houthi rebels in Yemen.
I warn that they should refrain from any criminal move in #Yemen. The US will also fail & face loss in this issue. pic.twitter.com/ittzr6JcOf

Last fall, the supreme leader casually tweeted “how can #Israel be eliminated?” and then claimed the U.S. is the world’s sole nuclear criminal.
