Be it ‘we have lost the keys‘ to ‘Blockade by Trump‘, it is safe to say that Iran has already dominated and won the social media game against the United States.
Now, the social media war between Washington
and Tehran has got an unexpected Bollywood twist.
We didn’t see this coming.
The Iranian Embassy in Tunisia shared an iconic Akshay Kumar meme to target President Donald Trump over his claim that the conflict will end “immediately” after the US midterm elections in November.

“Lost an underwater (submarine). Oil is nearing $100. Elections are coming. How’s it going, Trump?” the Iranian Embassy wrote on X.

Trump on Wednesday claimed that the Iran war will end immediately after the election, stating Tehran “can’t hold out any longer”.
He accused Tehran of trying to influence the November vote by seeking the election of what he described as a “nice weak group of people” who would leave Iran alone and allow it to develop nuclear weapons.
Times When Iran Dominated Social Media Game
Since the start of the war on February 28, when the US and Israel launched joint strikes against Iran, Tehran has largely dominated its social media game, thanks to its catchy, striking memes.

Renewed Confrontation Between US, Iran
West Asia has, once again, plunged into renewed chaos after the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) targeted and destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers in response to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)’s attack on a US Navy warship.
In response, Iran’s IRGC announced that it launched attacks at eight tankers and two warships, including the base in Jordan. According to CBS News, multiple US fighter jets, including F-15, sustained damage in the fresh strikes.
On Wednesday, Iran said it had expanded a newly declared no-go zone beyond the strategic Strait of Hormuz, signalling a further escalation of its confrontation with the United States.
The IRGC said it had attacked two US vessels, eight oil tankers and 10 “non-compliant vessels” attempting to pass through the region, according to the Iranian media.
