On April 5, President Trump issued expletive-laden threats against Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz, demanding it be opened or face bombing of bridges and power plants. Iranian embassies worldwide responded with sarcasm and mockery on social media rather than matching his rhetoric. Missions from London to New Delhi launched tongue-in-cheek campaigns mocking Trump's language, mental fitness, and profanity use through satirical memes and coordinated jokes.
