Iran's supreme leader delivered a shot at President Donald Trump this week in the form of a photo taken at a book event.
Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei was spotted at the Tehran International Book Fair holding a copy of Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House." The book was highly critical of Trump's administration, although critics claimed that some of it was untrue.
The BBC was among the news outlets that published the image, which originally appeared on Khamenei's Instagram account.
Khamenei has spoken out against Trump several times this week after the president announced he was withdrawing the United States from the Iran nuclear deal.
On Wednesday, Khamenei tweeted about the existence of an alleged letter that Trump sent to U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf region, in which Khamenei said Trump asked for help in keeping the Middle East safe.
