Iran has threatened to take out US ships and trolled Donald Trump with a bizarre AI-generated video featuring the Minions. The Iranian News Agency, dubbed the "official voice of the Islamic Republic of Iran", posted the video on X which shows the US President as a minion counting down to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The post is captioned: "Trump: The Iranian Navy is lying at the bottom of the sea, completely wiped out - 158 ships. Unless we hit it, it's their small number, what they call, 'fast attack boats', because we didn't consider them a major threat. Warning: If any of these boats approaches our blockade, it will be eliminated immediately."

The AI video shows Trump counting down to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the critical maritime passage connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabic Sea, but failing each time. He is depicted as a minion floating on a piece of wood.

The minion says: "I’m going to count to three. When I open my eyes, the Strait must be open." However, nothing happens and an Iranian minion pushed a red button as "caution" tape drops over the passage.
