Report: ‘Gay’ Ayatollah Rumor Was MAGA Psyop

Four sources tell Zeteo that since the beginning of the U.S. war with Iran, Team Trump has sought to engage in a psyop (psychological operation) against Iranian leaders including the new Ayatollah, Mojtaba Khamenei.

So, of course, one idea became: sow the seeds of a narrative that U.S. intel had discovered Khamenei is a closeted gay man.

“In today’s ‘First Draft,’ team Trump cooked up a psyop about Iran’s new supreme leader, sources tell Zeteo. Plus, the president decides to pay TSA agents, and why Trump wants to keep attacking Iran on weekends”

Some of them have been having a good laugh about it ever since. “We wanted to mindfuck [the Iranians] with gay shit,” one of the knowledgeable sources says.

Another source – a Trump administration official familiar with how this all went down – adds that one of their MAGA group chats is titled, simply: “gayatollah.”
