Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has escalated its rhetoric against the United States, with a spokesperson appearing to mock President Donald Trump using the phrase “You're fired.”
The remarks came after Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, which the IRGC spokesman responded to by saying, “Hey, Trump, you’re fired. You are familiar with this sentence. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Moreover, Trump is a frequent user of the phrase “Thank you for your attention to this matter” in his Truth Social post, which the IRGC spokesperson chose to mock.
The IRGC also stated that until Iran's power plants are restored, the Strait will be "completely closed" in the event of an attack on the nation's energy infrastructure.
