Iran's 'hunger' jab at Trump

The tension between the US and Iran, which continues through sanctions and mutual accusations, has also been reflected on social media. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf responded to US President Donald Trump's post regarding Iran with a striking image.

In his post on his X account, Ghalibaf targeted Trump's post, which was sourced from Newsmax and titled "Iranian Parliament Speaker: We are hungry, we cannot survive." In his response, the Iranian politician used an image titled "Make America Hungry Again," which included data on hunger and food insecurity in the US.

Without directly mentioning Trump's name in his post, Ghalibaf stated, "You can’t cover up defeats with false claims."

While the Washington administration has announced that it will increase economic sanctions against Iran, the Tehran administration argues that the tension with the US is also harming the American economy. Ghalibaf's post was evaluated as one of the latest examples of the war of political rhetoric between the two countries.
