Iranian leader has accused the US of deep-seated racism.

It was not the first time the Iranian leader has accused the US of deep-seated racism. HISTORY

Iran is one of the oldest nations in the world, with a history dating back tens of thousands of years. The country's first great city, Susa, was built on the central plateau around 3200 B.C. 

In a series of tweets in December, Khamenei disparaged the United States’ treatment of Native Americans and African-Americans, highlighting the events in Ferguson, Missouri, and the Wounded Knee incident of 1890 — a battle between the US government and Native American forces that ended in the massacre of hundreds of Native American noncombatants, including women and children.

“Was it not colonialists who killed Native Americans & enslaved millions of Africans? Are these American values? #Ferguson #WoundedKnee,” the Supreme Leader tweeted at the time.
