The White House twitter account has issued a response: https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1266367168603721728?s=...

This* Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence. However, @Twitter has determined that it will allow terrorists, dictators, and foreign propagandists to abuse its platform.

*Referring to an attached picture of a Khamenei tweet about Palestine

I think Twitter user @HoarseWisperer summed it up quite well:

    I’m not sure “They aren’t letting us act like *other*
    warlords.” is as strong an argument as you think.

Framed it quite well. A good summary should note if there is significant complexity involved in the statement, not take a biased framing of the situation, and give no indication that they have done it.
