Twitter has hidden a post on the account of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on a COVID-19 vaccine conspiracy theory.

The tweet from the account of Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters in Iran, claimed that COVID-19 vaccines imported from the U.S. or U.K. were "completely untrustworthy."

"It's not unlikely they would want to contaminate other nations," the tweet said, in reference to America and Britain. The tweet also claimed that French coronavirus vaccines "aren't trustworthy."
