BREAKING:Top Iranian Leader Bans UK, US and French COVID-19 Vaccines Over Fears Of Contamination

"Importing vaccines made in the US or the UK is prohibited. They're completely untrustworthy. It's not unlikely they would want to contaminate other nations," said Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Twitter has removed a tweet by Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei suggesting coronavirus vaccines made in the United States, Britain and France are "untrustworthy", saying the post violated its rules.

"Importing vaccines made in the US or the UK is prohibited. They're completely untrustworthy. It's not unlikely they would want to contaminate other nations, given our experience with France's HIV-tainted blood supplies, French vaccines aren't trustworthy either," the Iranian leader added the hashtag #CoronaVaccine.

Twitter later removed the tweet and replaced it with a message that said it was "no longer available because it violated the Twitter Rules". The US social media company announced a draconian policy in December to crack down on what it described as potentially "false or misleading information[anything that doesn't follow the agendas guidelines]" about Covid-19 vaccinations. Khamenei's ban concerns vaccines made by pharmaceutical giants Pfizer, BioNTech, Moderna and the vaccine produced by AstraZeneca and Britain's Oxford University.
