Iran mocks Trump’s AI war map with ‘galaxy’ video, says any new aggression will be met with stronger response

Amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran, a terse social media exchange has broken out on social media between both sides involving AI-generated visuals.

Soon after US President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated map of West Asia pointing towards Iran from several directions, Tehran posted a response video appearing to mock the imagery.

A viral video shared by the Iranian embassy in Ghana appeared to mock Trump’s map graphic by ‘washing away’ the threats before unveiling a galaxy-themed Iranian flag animation.

The video surfaced after Trump posted an AI-generated map of West Asia on Truth Social showing red arrows pointed toward Iran and an American flag spread across the region. The post came amid growing speculation over the possibility of renewed US military strikes against Tehran.

The Iranian response video featured animated Minion characters spraying water over Trump’s map before revealing a cosmic-style Iranian flag. The caption read, “Trump drew threats on our map. We brought a galaxy.”

Trump warned the ‘clock is ticking’

Trump’s post followed his latest warning to Iran over Tehran’s lukewarm response to the US’ five-point list for talks. Trump has warned that unless Iran agrees to a deal, it will be left with nothing.

“For Iran, the Clock is Ticking, and they better get moving, FAST, or there won’t be anything left of them. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!” the US President wrote on Truth Social.

The warning came shortly after Trump reportedly held discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the ongoing conflict involving Iran and the possibility of further military action.

According to Israeli news outlet Kan, the President also briefed Netanyahu on his recent visit to China.

Earlier, Iran’s Fars news agency reported that Washington had presented Tehran with a five-point proposal during ongoing negotiations. According to the report, the proposal included the transfer of uranium to the United States and restrictions on Iran’s nuclear programme.

The report also claimed that the US refused to release even 25% of Iran’s frozen assets or compensate Tehran for damage caused during the war.

Iran, meanwhile, has pushed for a broader agreement tied to the regional conflict. In its earlier proposal, Tehran called for an end to fighting across all fronts, including Lebanon, an issue that remains a major point of contention with Israel.

Iranian officials have also demanded that the United States lift its naval blockade on Iranian ports.

It has now been more than a month since the US and Iran agreed to a fragile ceasefire arrangement, but negotiations remain stalled as both sides continue to hold firm on their core demands.

Iranian officials also issued fresh warnings amid the escalating online exchange. Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Parliament National Security Commission, said any new action against Tehran would trigger a “stronger response,” adding that Iran was prepared for all possible scenarios.

As per a report by IRIB (Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting), Rezaei said, “Any aggression against Iran will face a stronger response, and we are fully prepared for all possible #scenarios.”

He also warned that US would eventually have to “submit either to diplomacy on Iran’s terms or to the power of our missiles.”

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei reiterated that Tehran’s uranium enrichment programme was ‘non-negotiable,’ insisting that enrichment remains Iran’s right.

 

“Enrichment is Iran’s right. Others’ remarks on this matter do not matter!” Baqaei was quoted as saying by IRIB.
