Iran on Saturday poured cold water on US President Donald Trump’s enthusiasm over announcing the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, asking him to curb his excitement, restrain Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a week, and leave it to Tehran to address its own problems.
In a sarcastic dig at Trump’s series of announcements on Friday, in which he claimed the US had secured major concessions ahead of possible next rounds of truce talks in Pakistan, the Iranian embassy in Zimbabwe wrote on X: “Try not to show yourself too happy. Have a little prestige; 2. Never, (emphasise) never think to the new legal regime of the Strait of Iran. We will fix it; 3. Turn off the phone, relax, no more posts and, block Bibi for one week; 4. Eat a light dinner and sleep well.”
On Friday, Trump went on a messaging spree, claiming that Iran had agreed to open the strait and “never close” it again. “Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again. It will no longer be used as a weapon against the world,” he wrote on Truth Social.
He also claimed that Iran would hand over its “nuclear dust” to the US, before striking a celebratory tone on Truth Social, calling Friday “a great and brilliant day for the world.” It was to this post that the Iranian embassy reacted.
