The brilliant idea dreamed up by administration frat boys was to plant a public narrative about classified information strongly indicating that Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei is gay.

But the idea was fabricated and pushed behind the scenes by a cohort of Trump advisers, US government personnel, and MAGA associates, two people with knowledge of the matter and another two sources briefed on it told Zeteo reporters.

They've been laughing about it since. (You know, dick jokes.) “We wanted to mindfuck [the Iranians] with gay shit,” one of the 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.”

By late Thursday night, the White House had not responded to our request for comment. However, not long after we emailed our comment request, Trump suddenly appeared on TV blabbing about the topic.

The president was asked by Fox’s Jesse Watters if the CIA had told him that the new supreme leader is gay. “Well, they did say that, but I don’t know if it was only them,” Trump replied. “I think a lot of people are saying that, which puts him off to a bad start in that particular country.”
