Iran mocks Trump with AI video showing him stuck in Tesla-logo truck at Hormuz

Iran’s embassy in Hungary released an AI-generated parody video showing U.S. President Donald Trump attempting to drive a miniature Tesla Cybertruck through a narrow passage symbolizing the Strait of Hormuz. The clip, lasting around 34 seconds, mimics a scene from *Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery*, where Trump’s vehicle becomes wedged in the passage, forcing awkward reversals. The video’s caption reads, ‘Trump’s attempt to pass through the Strait of Hormuz!’ and includes a teasing emoji, referencing tensions over the vital waterway amid the West Asia conflict. The AI video features a Tesla-style vehicle, widely interpreted as a nod to Elon Musk and the Cybertruck’s futuristic design, adding another layer of internet humor. The clip has amassed over 800,000 views, with social media users mocking Trump’s perceived incompetence, including comparisons to his past remarks and actions. One user joked, ‘Trump can’t move that fast, let alone think that fast!’ This is part of a broader trend by Iranian diplomatic missions to troll Trump online, following earlier posts mocking his comments about India and U.S. ceasefire negotiations. On April 24, Iran’s consulate in Mumbai suggested a ‘cultural detox’ for Trump after he endorsed remarks calling India a ‘hell-hole.’ Just days prior, Iran’s consulate in Russia shared a video parodying U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s failed ceasefire talks in Pakistan. The Strait of Hormuz remains a flashpoint in regional tensions, with the AI video serving as a digital jab at Trump’s leadership amid ongoing conflicts. Iranian embassies have increasingly used social media to counter U.S. rhetoric, blending humor with political messaging in their posts.
