Overview
- The Iranian consulate in Hyderabad posted the 45‑second AI clip Wednesday, showing an AI Trump with JD Vance facing empty chairs, a “2,000 years later” gag, and a note that reads “Shut up, Trump.”
- Trump said he extended the ceasefire indefinitely at Pakistan’s request to allow Iran time to present a unified proposal, and the White House says there is no firm deadline as the U.S. naval blockade stays in place.
- Iranian officials say they entered talks in good faith yet have not decided whether to attend the next round in Islamabad, and they argue any real pause requires lifting the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
- Trump told outlets that talks could be possible within 36 to 72 hours under Pakistan’s mediation, though Tehran has not confirmed any meeting.
- The video fueled fresh online chatter about who is winning the narrative fight, and the standoff over Hormuz—through which about one‑fifth of seaborne oil moves—keeps energy flows and regional trade at risk.
