US senator posts photo lighting cigarette with burning image of Khamenei

Jan 12, 2026, 07:37 GMT+0Updated: 08:43 GMT+0

US Senator Tim Sheehy shared a photo online showing him lighting a cigarette with a burning image of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

As anti-government protests continue in Iran, the move has become trendy especially among young girls.

“Smoke 'em if you got 'em,” Sheehy wrote.

Senator Ted Cruz reacted to Sheehy’s post by writing: “Spectacular!!! America stands with the people of Iran against the Islamist tyrants.”

Senator Lindsey Graham also praised the post, calling it “beyond awesome,” and saying, “The bravest woman on the planet got a shout out from the baddest dude in the Senate.”
