The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has continued its string of jabs at former US President Donald Trump, posting a doctored image of him alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and late financier Jeffrey Epstein on a ballistic missile.
IRGC Posts Sarcastic Image
The image appears to show Trump, Netanyahu, and Epstein standing proudly in front of a Shahab-3 ballistic missile, which is allegedly capable of targeting the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. The caption accompanying the image is scathing, with the IRGC labeling Trump “foolish.” The statement continues: “The Strait of Hormuz is more important than your words. Your Strait [is] also in the hands of Epstein and ‘Little BP.'”
Why the Reference to Epstein?
The reference to Epstein is likely a veiled attack on Trump’s association with the convicted sex offender. Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial, was a long-time associate of Trump’s, and their friendship has been the subject of intense scrutiny in recent years.
What Do the IRGC Want to Say?
The post could be seen as a warning to Trump that the IRGC is capable of taking action against US interests in the region if necessary. However, some experts believe that the post may be more of a psychological ploy aimed at undermining Trump’s confidence and damaging his public image.
Tensions Between Iran and the US Remain High
The post comes at a time when tensions between Iran and the US remain high, with both sides engaging in a game of cat-and-mouse on the diplomatic and military fronts. The US has imposed harsh sanctions on Iran in recent years, which Tehran has accused of being a form of economic war.
What Will Trump Do Next?
As the IRGC continues to mock Trump, it remains to be seen what the former US President will do in response. While some have called on him to stay silent and ride out the storm, others have urged him to push back against the IRGC’s taunts.
