Iran has delivered a sharp and unusually sarcastic response to Donald Trump’s recent claims on the Strait of Hormuz, escalating an already tense war of words over one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints. In a strongly worded pushback, Tehran dismissed Trump’s assertions about Iran’s supposed commitments to keep the Strait open and refrain from using it as strategic leverage. The response didn’t stop at official denial, remarks circulating from Iranian channels, including diplomatic voices, openly mocked the US President, even suggesting he “turn off the phone, relax, and stop posting,” alongside a jab advising him to block Benjamin Netanyahu.
