The irony is thicker than the haze described by the band Deep Purple in their classic hard-rocking tune, Smoke on the Water. The new Supreme leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei (son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) — who nobody is sure is even alive or dead — may be (have been?) gay.
This, in one of the most anti-LGBTQ regimes in the world — one that is reportedly prone to hanging homosexuals in the public square. Not surprisingly, the internet went wild with memes and jokes.

Although the conflict with Iran is anything but funny, sometimes humor best exposes the absurdity of the backward regime and its murderous leaders (the ones who are still left breathing, anyway).
“Gayatollah” is now a thing, and there’s no one more deserving of mockery than the psychopathic, hypocritical mullahs. The “Il Donaldo Trumpo” account was, as usual, quick to offer a parody of the man they’re also referring to as the Cardboard Ayatollah because he has yet to provide evidence that he is actually alive:

Of course, I can’t share with you many of the posts that are inappropriate for a polite audience, but the memes I can share didn’t stop coming:

Oh, Boy: New: Another Big Reveal About the ‘Supreme Leader’ – This Isn’t Going to Go Over Well in Iran
New Twist: Khamenei Sr. Doubted Son’s Smarts as Supreme Leader
One of the great ironies of the modern left in America is that they actually have a protest group called Queers for Palestine, where their members seem to have no comprehension of the fact that Hamas would have zero tolerance for them, and their members would likely meet a very awful demise should the groups ever cross paths.
This AI guy would last about 10 seconds in the real world of Hamas or the mullahs:

Meanwhile, this creator pointed out that if Mojtaba ever showed proof of life and actually took command as Supreme Leader, he might have to execute himself in his first official move:

It’s far from the only time that internet creatives have perfectly encapsulated both the irony and the evil of the Iranian regime, which has terrorized its people and the world since 1979:

Why these memes are so funny — and so salient — is not because they mock gay people, but because Iran is one of the most intolerant countries on the planet, and would slaughter such types in an instant. The fact that they may have been secretly hiding one of their own in their midst shows that they have no moral compass, only an endless desire for bloodshed.
Editor’s Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
