The New Yorker

After Trump tweeted a Game of Thrones meme on Friday aimed at Iran saying "Sanctions are coming November 5," General Qassem Suleimani, the commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard’s élite Quds Force, responded with a meme of himself inspired by the hit HBO drama. "I will stand against you," he captioned the meme. According to The New Yorker, the Iranian media covered the Game of Thrones competition with "glee."
