The Iranian Embassy in Russia has released a viral AI video featuring Donald Trump as a minion from the animated film Despicable Me, humorously depicting the ongoing shipping crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. In the video, a cartoon Trump floats on a plank next to a US flag, insisting that he will 'count to three' for the Strait to open, while other minions representing various countries cheer. An 'Iranian minion' presses a button that drops warning tape across the Strait, symbolizing Iran's control. This video is part of a series of satirical propaganda aimed at undermining Trump's image during heightened tensions in the region. Despite Trump's claims on Truth Social that he would 'permanently open' the Strait, actual shipping traffic remains severely affected, with daily movements down by approximately 90%. The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime route, with about 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas passing through it. Since the crisis began, only 58 cargo ships have traversed the Strait, primarily linked to Iran or its allies.
