Iran tells Donald Trump to ‘shut up’ in latest AI video invoking SpongeBob SquarePants
Iran is relentlessly trolling Donald Trump with their AI videos – even after he agreed to a fragile ceasefire.
The latest AI depicts the US President’s anger as he negotiates with empty chairs where his Iranian counterparts are supposed to be.
‘We are having very great negotiations with Iran,’ the AI-generated Trump types out on his latest Truth Social post.
The 45-second video, posted on the consulate’s official X handle, uses a SpongeBob SquarePants ‘2,000 years later’ meme as Trump gets frustrated at the no-show.
Getting angry, AI Trump: ‘If Iran doesn’t come to negotiate, we’re gonna bomb them,’ still speaking to the vacant seats.
Moments later, he asks, ‘So where are the Iranians?’ — following which an aide hands him a note. The message reads: ‘Shut up.’

The video ends with the AI Trump saying, ‘Alright, then I will extend the ceasefire at Pakistan’s request,’ before abruptly walking out of the room to laughter.
‘How was the ceasefire extended? The video is getting viral in Iran,’ the consulate captioned the post.
In real life. Iran has insisted it is undecided whether it will return to the negotiating table expected in Pakistan’s capital later this week,.
‘We entered the negotiations in good faith and with seriousness, but the negotiating party (the United States) has shown disregard and lack of good faith,’ Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baqaei, said Wednesday, according to Iran’s State TV.
‘Iran has not yet decided whether it will participate in the new round of peace negotiations with the United States scheduled for later this week.’
On Tuesday, President Trump extended a ceasefire with Iran indefinitely, leaving the next steps for resuming talks unclear.
Despite the ceasefire, Trump insisted he would not lift his blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.
A Liberian-registered Epaminondas container ship was attacked early Wednesday after being ‘approached and fired upon by a manned gunboat’ while transiting the strait about 20 nautical miles off the coast of Oman.
The Technomar management company said all crew were ‘safe and accounted for’ but that the ship’s bridge had been damaged.
It came after the embassy in Tajikistan shared an AI video of Jesus throwing Donald Trump down to hell after sucker punching him.
Another shows the US leader as a minion, counting down to ‘reopen’ the Strait of Hormuz and failing each time.
AI has become a major part of the war in Iran – with both Iran and the President of the United States sharing bizarre images.
Propaganda expert and historian Dr Ian Garner told Metro: ‘These are interesting because we’re now living in an era of truly global propaganda, where a country like Iran can use social media and cheap technology available everywhere to flood our spaces and push propaganda to a wide audience—ultimately reaching the minds of viewers around the world.
‘The content, however, is equally interesting because it imitates the “slop propaganda” style associated with the Trump government. In a sense, Iran is not just engaging in a kinetic war with America; it is also engaging in a war of image and ideas.’
Dr Garner said at the same time, the ‘sloppiness’ of the cartoons undermines the severity of the war, turning it into a ‘dark joke’.
‘It makes the situation seem so absurd that the reality—people dying, bombs being dropped, the global economy being shaken—feels less significant,’ he said.
