The social media conflict between Iran and the United States intensifies as Iranian officials and embassy pages respond to US President Donald Trump's remarks with a series of memes. This ongoing exchange occurs even as a potential peace deal is being discussed, and a two-week truce is in effect until April 22. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Ibrahim Azizi, head of Iran's National Security Commission, have both emphasized that decisions regarding the Strait of Hormuz will be made by Iran, not dictated by social media. Iranian embassies, particularly in Indonesia and South Africa, have been noted for their humorous and sharp responses to Trump's comments, dubbing him 'the most cooked US President ever.' The Strait of Hormuz has reopened for commercial vessels, but Iran insists that only those authorized by the Revolutionary Guard can transit, and tolls must be paid. Trump has dismissed the notion of tolls being imposed on vessels, asserting that such charges will not be accepted.
