President Donald Trump on Monday announced a new round of sanctions on Iran, including measures targeting its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

At least, that’s the name in the White House transcript.

When he spoke, however, Trump said “Ayatollah Khomeini,” aka Ruhollah Khomeini, who led the country from 1979 until his death in 1989.

This statement makes me consider that this Iran saber-rattling is more about 1979 than 2019. The isolation and potential attack on Iran is more about the U.S. having the last word on the humiliation suffered by the U.S. when its embassy was taken over by Iranian students in 1979 and the country ousting the Shah and replacing him with Khomeini.

Therefore, was it a slip of the tongue, Alzheimer's, or a Freudian slip?
