Did Khamenei.ir tweet in support of campus protests?

By now, I assume everyone on X saw the following (and possibly some additional tweets from that account in the same gist):

Whatever one thinks of the Iranians, I don't attribute pure stupidity to them.

Treated as authentic, this tweet is an extreme liability for the pro IslamoNazis on campuses.

What are your thoughts? Is this authentic? Work of the Mossad? Something else?

They are too young and too ignorant to grasp how this undermines their cause, but their defenders do understand that.

I don’t think that this changes anything. The protesters don’t know or care what they’re protesting about. Their defenders know exactly what it is and don’t seem to care. The dwindling number of defenders is imo due to the violence and unpopularity of the riots and has nothing to do with Iran or anyone else for that matter.

Of what?

Of what?

Defending the demonstrations etc.

Why would this make them back off? They are not the ones with a problem with Iran?

I would imagine that unless they are totally dumb, they would realize it will turn more public opinion against them.

Why would this be any worse for their public image than burning the American flag, desecrating national monuments and all the other anti-American actions they did?

I'm speculating, but I think those can be seen as anti-establishment, anti-white, etc. While this crosses the line to being aligned with an obvious and declared enemy of the US.
