US President Donald Trump announced a fresh set of sanctions against Iran. This time the sanctions target the country’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei. But the US President messed up his announcement as he sanctioned ‘ Ayatollah Khomeini’ who has been dead for 30 years. This brought on a deluge of trolling by Iranians. But this was not the first time that Trump messed up the name of a very public figure.
