Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been accused of gross hypocrisy after creating his own Facebook page, despite his oppressive regime's rigorously enforced ban on "decadent" social media sites.

But if anyone is hoping to find out who the Ayatollah's closest friends are, maybe learn about his "interests," get a chance to browse his fun vacation snaps or watch his favorite viral video hot from the streets of Tehran, they are likely to be sorely disappointed, encountering instead much more dry and somber content.

The devoutly religious, pious Supreme Leader had already begun keeping in touch with his followers and fans around the world via Twitter and Instagram, despite both also being banned in Iran, but now the seemingly tech savvy 73-year-old religious head is spreading his message wider, courtesy of Facebook, and has already racked up an impressive 19,458 "likes."

Joining the Western obsession of tweeting and Facebook status updates is an unexpected move for the Ayatollah, whose strict regime has deemed such websites decadent, branding them instances of the so-called "western soft war" conspired by the likes of the "Zionists," the Guardian.co.uk reports.
