An official Iranian social media account labeled California a “new territory” of Iran on Tuesday in response to US President Donald Trump posting an image portraying the Strait of Hormuz as “NEW U.S. Territory,”
Trump shared the image on his Truth Social account Tuesday, showing a map of the Strait of Hormuz with the strategic waterway circled beneath the words “NEW U.S. Territory,” following up on his earlier remarks saying the strait would be made US territory after the war ends.
The White House later reposted Trump’s post on its official account on US social media platform X.
In response, the official Iran in Hyderabad account on X posted a map of the US showing California highlighted in blue, with the words: “NEW TERRITORY OF ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN.”
Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, also hit back at Trump’s post, writing on X: “His delusion regarding the Strait of Hormuz will soon either be corrected, or we will correct the delusions of this delusional man.”
Has someone pointed out that they picked a blue state because all the red states are even shittier places to live than Iran?
later, from the white house: “we have settled, again, with the great islamic republic of iran. america is victorious! we have deeded to iran not only california, but oregon and washington state, too. in exchange, we have received three barrels of algae-laced seawater for the small sum of $500 billion”.
“PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP.”
Praise be to Buddha, thank you for your attention.
Calling it the Gulf of Iran after the whole fiasco with Mexico would have been pretty on point in terms of joke. Missed opportunity.
Lmao, that would be humiliating for trump if he only could understand it
Gary Newson could do something really funny now
He’s too busy destroying homeless camps with glee
You dont understand, its his turn!
Seems like a fair trade.
Not going to take time to research for an obvious troll, but I wonder exactly how much of the USA gdp comes from one state…
Although I’m sure wherever you’re at you’d probably rather be living in Russia.
Just to give a perspective on how stupid US military being in middle east is.
Nation states fighting over parts of the same planet we were all born on is cringe. Humanity is like a toddler that just learned the word “mine”.
And yes, I do privately own a toothbrush.
