ABNA24 - Iranian embassies around the world posted critical, tongue-in-cheek responses on X to President Donald Trump’s profanity-laced warning over the Strait of Hormuz.
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!” Trump posted to Truth Social on Sunday morning. He later appeared to set a new deadline, writing “Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!”
The Iran Embassy in the United Kingdom quoted the common proverb: “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” It also said Trump’s threat was a “sign of weakness & SICKNESS''.
“#POTUS has stooped to an unprecedented level of begging, laced with bitter, hollow rudeness and threats. The desperation is almost palpable, dripping from every syllable—especially the haphazardly hurled expletives'', said the Iran Embassy in Austria, noting that attacking civilian infrastructure is a war crime. It added: “A further warning: shield all minors under 18 from exposure to #Trump’s rhetoric''.
“Swearing and throwing insults are how sore loser brats behave. Get a grip on yourself, old man!” wrote the Iran Embassy in India.
The Iran Embassy in Zimbabwe posted a list of examples of “presidential decorum'', which included “respectful and measured language in public statements''.
The Iran Embassy in South Africa said: “Seriously think about the 25th amendment, Section 4'', in an apparent reference to the constitutional provision which allows for the Vice President and the majority of Cabinet to declare the President unfit for office, thus putting the VP in charge.
“!Take it easy, tiger . (sic) Keep your cool,” wrote the Iran Embassy in Bulgaria.
