Iran mocks Donald Trump as ‘Minion’ and presses big red button in AI propaganda

An Iranian embassy has mocked Donald Trump in an AI-generated video, portraying him as a Minion desperate to open the Strait of Hormuz – this is a breaking story

Donald Trump has been depicted as a Minion struggling to open the Strait of Hormuz in an AI-generated video published by the Iranian Embassy in Russia.

The caption of the X post is presented as a statement from the US president, in which he claims the Iranian navy has been “completely wiped out” and warns that any remaining “fast attack boats” approaching the US blockade would be immediately targeted.

The caption, translated from Arabic into English, reads: “Trump: The Iranian navy is lying at the bottom of the sea, completely wiped out – 158 ships.

“What we didn’t strike is their small number of so-called “fast attack boats,” because we did not consider them a major threat. Warning: if any of these boats approach our blockade, they will be immediately destroyed.”
