Following reports that Trump secretly used a catering truck to disembark his presidential plane and switch to a military aircraft citing an Iranian assassination threat after last month's NATO summit, AI-generated videos and images mocking the incident have been rapidly spreading on social media.

Several Iranian embassies also posted mocking photos and videos contrasting the image of Trump raising his fist while bleeding from an assassination attempt during his reelection campaign with the parody images of his catering truck escape.

An Iranian media outlet claimed that Trump fled cowardly out of fear of Iran.

Iran is standing up to the United States while blockading the Strait of Hormuz, demanding stricter negotiation terms such as war reparations and the lifting of economic sanctions.

They are actively utilizing the controversy surrounding Trump's secret transfer operation as a propaganda tool to rally internal public opinion by claiming victory in the standoff.
