In short

The episode claims that Iran is “turning the tables” on Donald Trump’s Iran policy and threats by using Iranian embassy social media accounts to mock MAGA and deny any negotiation. It argues Iran is emboldened, morale is rising, and a ceasefire is unlikely because Iran says prior talks with U.S. figures (Jared Kushner, Steve Witcoff) ended with bombing and invasion. Key examples include embassy memes and AI videos: “open the Strait of Hormuz” jokes across countries (Cuba, India, Pakistan, Russia, South Africa, France, China), Lebanon’s “we aren’t reopening shit, bro” soldier image, Uzbekistan’s “negotiation Trump style” with missiles, Bulgaria’s “come again” after U.S. aircraft losses, and a “Lego troll movie” about “war crime” and “Stone Age” threats. It also lists Iran’s stated deal terms: reparations, Strait control, permanent sanctions removal, security guarantees for Houthis/Hezbollah/militias, and keeping ballistic missiles/“Shahi” drones.

0:00My name is Mackenzie, and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about$10 ,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed. We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.

0:47GoFundMe is the world's number one fundraising platform trusted by over 200 million people. Start your GoFundMe today at GoFundMe.com. That's GoFundMe.com. GoFundMe.com. This podcast is supported by GoFundMe. As Donald Trump's disastrous and catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran continues to spiral out of control, Donald Trump is getting a taste of his own medicine by an unexpected source. Iran has set up a large group of their own troll accounts, these embassy Iranian accounts that are out there consistently mocking Donald Trump and using kind of the Trump troll tactics, but upping the ante and mocking him and doing AI videos of him and just continuing to like humiliate and shame him.

1:38And you can actually glean what's really going on behind the scenes, at least in terms of Iran being emboldened by their position and their not wanting to negotiate at all with Donald Trump and his regime. when you see what their social media accounts are doing in the various countries where Iran has embassies, whether it's Bulgaria or Cuba, the European Union, whether it is Lebanon or whether it is in South Africa, whether it's in Uzbekistan, all of these social media accounts, these Iranian accounts, are trying to like one up the other account in humiliating, mocking, shaming Donald Trump and MAGA.

2:24And I'll just show you what's going down right now, because I think it is, you know, a sight to behold. So, I mean, you've got accounts like this, the Iranian embassy in Cuba saying, Trump, open the Strait of Hormuz. India, is it closed? Pakistan, closed? Russia, how strange. South Africa. But it's open, of course. France doesn't look like it. China, open. We just pass through there. Trump, sad face, showing that they've opened up the Strait of Hormuz to all of these other countries. I mean, take a look at some of these posts, though. This is the Iran embassy of Lebanon, where they have some like a soldier holding Donald Trump's shoulder and saying, we aren't reopening shit, bro.

3:09An Iranian soldier telling Donald Trump, We ain't opening up shit, bro. So as like Donald Trump leaks to Barack Ravid of Axios and Donald Trump tries to call all the kind of propaganda media in the United States to say, oh, I'm going to make a deal. We're negotiating with Iran and tries to manipulate the market. The Iranian propaganda from its embassies are like, we aren't reopening shit, bro. And it's this AI cartoon image of an Iranian soldier on Donald Trump's shoulder. Then they have the following image right here. Trump's effort to open the Strait of Hormuz is commendable. And they show the different mines right there in the Strait of Hormuz.

3:53You have, again, Iran's Lebanon account saying, if the United States achieves three more victories like this, it will be utterly destroyed. And it's a repost of the Iran parliament leader M.B. Goluboff's post that has an image of Iran where multiple American aircraft and helicopters, like the C-130, for example, big airplanes, expensive,$100 million planes, were destroyed in the search and rescue mission of the F-15E pilot. And Ghalibov, the Iranian parliament leader, goes, if the United States gets three more victories like this, it will be utterly ruined. You have the Iran embassy in Uzbekistan showing an AI photo of Donald Trump doing a handshake deal with a shadow of Donald Trump with the Iranian flag over it as Donald Trump pretends he's negotiating with Iran.

4:49You've got this video that was posted by the Iranian embassy of Lebanon, which shows older people at a casino were like addicted to the slot machines and who keep on clicking the button for the slot machines. And then they go revolutionary guards on missile platforms after Donald Trump's threats. And they do this meme right here of DiCaprio. Cheers. It's tea time. And they mock Donald Trump. Then there's this image of Donald Trump, the reason for Donald Trump's rudeness. And the country of Iran is in Donald Trump's neck. Another photo or another video they show where the U.S. planes crashed and the embassy of Iran in Bulgaria writes, come again, we'll prove to you that Iran will be hell for you.

5:40Then they mock Donald Trump's negotiations, if you even want to call it, Trump pretending to negotiate. and they go, and this is again, the Iranian embassy of Uzbekistan, negotiation Trump style. And it's Donald Trump with saying ceasefire, but it's actually missiles coming out of Donald Trump's mouth. Talks are going on and it's Donald Trump sitting across the table from no one, because there's no Iranian negotiating with him. And then Donald Trump has like a shoulder mounted weapon on him. While he's engaged in a negotiation, they're out there blowing up Iran. And then they do another image, negotiation, Trump style too.

6:21And it's a boardroom where normal negotiations would take place, but it's utterly destroyed because Trump bombs the negotiation rooms. And one of the things that we've been saying here from the Iranian perspective,

6:34Ben Meiselas:they're like, why would we negotiate with Jared Kushner and Steve Whitcoff when the last two times we negotiated with them and we believed we reached a deal. We were bombed that night and there was an invasion of Iran that night. So we don't want to negotiate with them, even though Whitcoff and Kushner continue to try to reach out to Iran's foreign minister, Arangchi, to see if they could do a ceasefire. And Iran's also like, why would we want a ceasefire? America's running out of its munitions right now and Israel's running out of its munitions. And never before has the U.S. and Israel been weaker in a war, from Iran's perspective, that is.

7:11Ben Meiselas:So Iran's like, you want us to give you a 45-day ceasefire so you can rebuild up your munitions? That doesn't make any sense. What Iran has always said is for there to be a deal, there has to be reparations for the war. Iran gets to control the Strait of Hormuz. There are long-term, not a ceasefire, there's that no more war. All sanctions are permanently removed from Iran. And there are security guarantees for Iran, the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Shiite groups, Shiite militia groups in Iraq. Iran's been very clear that those are its, when it gets to keep all of its ballistic missiles and Shahi drones, those are its non-negotiables.

7:55Ben Meiselas:That's what it's said. It hasn't departed from saying that. Since Donald Trump and Netanyahu have escalated the attacks, Iran has responded with ballistic missiles and Shahid drones. But Iran said, they've never said, oh, bombing us more is going to make us come to the negotiating table. So I think it is important. I mean, if you've read Sun Tzu, The Art of the War and other things, I mean, I think you have to know what the other side is thinking. I mean, And that's why you have to be a student of these things to see what are they doing. I think another important lesson as we look at this as well is, you know, Donald Trump says, you know, we've obliterated Iran.

8:33Ben Meiselas:We bombing him into the Stone Age. They have no leadership. There's, you know, they don't have any, they don't have any ability. We have air superiority, you know, what are they going to hit us with? And I think the point is they have, in addition to a parliament that they have that meets And granted, it's ultimately a rubber stamp for the Ayatollah and their system, but they have a parliament there. They have spokespersons who holds press conferences daily. They have embassies across the world. And their embassies not just are kind of humiliating and shaming and turning the tables with the social media, the social media attacks on the Trump regime.

9:09Ben Meiselas:They're doing AI videos, but it's also showing a continuity within the regime, within the Islamic Republic itself that not only does it exist, but they're out there having fun, it seems, right? They're out there like enjoying this. And that's part of the message that they're sending is that the more you bomb us, the more you actually improve our morale. And we demonstrate that through these social media posts. And so you need to study what the other side is doing and not just have, you know, oh, what's Barack Ravid posting today? It's why we dig into this at the Midas Touch Network. The Iranian embassy in Lebanon also goes, the Strait of Hormuz is not going to open.

9:51Ben Meiselas:Buy oil and sell your stocks, praise be to Allah, because that's what Donald Trump said. Oh, and then the Iran dropped a new Lego troll movie. You know how I've been showing these? This is the new one that they've released here. Play this clip. Watch this. What, what, what, what? War crime. War crime. War crime, war crime, bridge down, civilians cry Trump on truth, social flexing while they die Power plants next, blackouts in the night Stone age threat Great Persia still shines bright You split the bridge, we split the bridge in flames Smoke filling up the sky, posted the video laughing Showing off your strike, threatening power plants Trying to turn off all the lights, dragging us to Stone Age With your illegal might, but great Persia rises History on our side, ancient empire strong We never hide.

Then the Iranian Embassy of South Africa posts a happy Easter to the Christian community in South Africa,

12:54Ben Meiselas:especially to those who have shown their support for Iran against Trump and Netanyahu crimes. all of the prophets stood against oppression and injustice. And so they post that to counter Donald Trump's message. I mean, Trump's message was praise be to Allah, open the fucking straight or fucking kill you, whatever Donald Trump's stupid post was, right? Trump's deranged post. And then their post was happy Easter to the Christian community in South Africa. And their other accounts said happy Easter to the Christian communities in those countries as well. As this one account says, these Iranian social media embassy accounts are also very in tune with the tone of the countries that they're in.

13:36Ben Meiselas:The tone is perfect for Japan. So this is the Iranian embassy in Japan. And they're responding to Donald Trump's post where Trump says, Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in Iran. There'll be nothing like it. Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. Praise be to Allah. So the Iranian embassy in Japan writes, this low level of civility and intelligence shown by a leader of a country is regrettable. The shameful fervor with which intentions to commit war crimes are repeated is staggering. And the fact that the divine is invoked regardless of ill intentions kind of clearly exposes the Trump regime.

14:15Ben Meiselas:You have the Iranian embassy in Cuba writes, relief in stone from the Achmed Empire in Persopolis. A hand holds a lotus flower, symbol of peace, harmony, and eternity. This image reflects the serene aesthetic and the symbolic art of Persian art. You have the Iranian embassy in South Africa posting this photo. Donald Trump, frustrated over missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize, now seems to be chasing a Nobel Prize for savagery. And it says, missed out on the Nobel Peace Prize, now chasing a Nobel Prize for savagery. And that embassy in South Africa also posted, Trump opened the Strait of Ramoves.

14:59Ben Meiselas:And India says, I hadn't realized it was closed. Pakistan's like, it's closed. Russia's like, strange. South Africa like, but it's open, of course. France is like, doesn't look like it. China, open. We just passed through. They did this image of Donald Trump. They go, embassy of Iran in Bulgaria. Donald Trump is still negotiating with the calendar. No deal yet. And then it's Donald Trump AI looking at a screen that says, please make a deal until Monday. Please make a deal until Tuesday. Miner's mocking him for making up that he's in these negotiations and close to making deals when the Iranians are not even talking to him, when Iraq is not even talking to them.

15:34Ben Meiselas:The embassy in Bulgaria then did this image of Donald Trump with his neck caught in the Strait of Hormuz. And Trump goes, I can't breathe. And the embassy of Iran goes, that's Trump right now. They also show that same image of the American aircraft that was shot down or that was destroyed in Iran during the search and rescue of the F-15E fighters. And they said, come again, we'll prove to you that Iran will be hell for you. So these are the types of posts that they're making. They post this image, 2020, of somebody wearing a mask over their mouth and nose. And then in 2026, it's somebody wearing a mask over their eyes while filling up gas.

16:14Ben Meiselas:And the Iranian embassy of Zimbabwe writes, fuel prices are up more than 55%. Thank you for your attention to this important matter, Donald J. Trump. And then when Donald Trump doesn't post insane stuff, the embassies mock him by saying, Trump, please talk. We are bored. Then they show an image of the Strait of Hormuz and they go, be polite and pass. The Iranian embassy of Cuba posted this image of Bruce Springsteen and writes, the song Call to Minneapolis anthem of the struggle against fascism denounces the crimes of the private army of King Trump and evokes two of its victims. Trump, for his part, calls to boycott the Springsteen performance and that calls Springsteen a loser who vomits hatred against me.

17:03Ben Meiselas:The Iran embassy in Cuba also has images of Iran from its thousand plus year history. And they write a retrospective look at the Stone Age when the United States did not exist. The Iranian embassy in Cuba reposting the embassy of Iran in Spain with Pope Leo's Easter message. May those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace, not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue, not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them. The Iranian mission in EU, basically like embassy in EU, if you will, goes, how do you feel, Mr. Minister, about the massive equipment losses of your U.S.

17:46Ben Meiselas:friends in this operation? Don't you think they deserve your congratulations? One F-15E strike eagle destroyed, two HH-60 helicopters destroyed, Two MH-6, I think it was one MH-6 Little Bird destroyed. An A-10 Thunderbolt destroyed. Two C-130 Hercules destroyed. Two MQ-9 Reapers destroyed. Those aircrafts were confirmed as being destroyed in this operation, the search and rescue. Just one operation. All of those aircraft were lost. The Iranian embassy in Thailand posts, judging by how Trump swears like a teenager, it seems the U.S. has reached the Stone Age sooner than expected. The Iranian embassy in Thailand also says, we get it that you're a bloodthirsty empire in decline, but you don't have to show your inferiority by this language.

18:38Ben Meiselas:Allah is far greater and all encompassing to be used by your mouth. Go run some more enterprise and never come back to global politics. They also write, we know that some Americans swear, but is this the best and finest of you as a president? Is this how you want to be represented in the world? Language. Does anybody know why the U.S. is attacking us? My job is nearly impossible now because I can't point to just one failure. Every bullet fired is a setback for the average American trying to make ends meet and a blow to global stability. The Iranian embassy in Thailand also reposts the Iranian embassy in Japan and says, For hundreds of years, Iran ensured safe and free passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

19:22Ben Meiselas:The world enjoyed low-cost commodities and global trade, while Iran has suffered from unilateral sanctions for 47 years and now horrific war crimes. Many stayed silent. Time for a change. Going back to the Iranian embassy in Zimbabwe, it's such a joy to hear this beautiful sound from Zimbabwe. Thank you for sharing. And there you go. Do you still want us to learn from the USA after pointing out Donald Trump's post on Easter? The Iranian embassy in Zimbabwe also writes presidential decorum refers to the expected standards of behavior, conduct and communication for a president while in office. It includes respectful and measured language and public statements, dignified behavior that reflects the seriousness of the office, adherence to norms and traditions of governance, composure under pressure, especially during crisis, respect for institutions, laws, and other branches.

20:18Ben Meiselas:And it's a repost of Donald Trump saying, open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards. Praise be to Allah. And there's this post right here of Donald Trump going out in front of a crowd saying, we've completely destroyed Iran's capabilities. And behind him are all the American aircraft that have been destroyed. And then the Iranian embassy in Zimbabwe writes, everything is good, but you don't believe. Then, I mean, there's more of these. I mean, this is what they're, I'm just showing you what basically took pace over the past 24 hours or so. You know, there's this image right here, the embassy of Iran and Bulgaria, showing them controlling the Strait of Hormuz.

21:00Ben Meiselas:No cooperation with the US, just ring and sail through, buddy. It's an image of someone controlling the Shrait of Hormuz. You call up Iran. If you're not cooperating with the U.S., you go through. And then the Iranian embassy in Bulgaria goes, the U.S. spent 50 years building a massive circle of bases just to send Iran back to the Stone Age. After 36 days of failed attempts, they are now asking for an agreement. And the Iranian embassy of South Africa shows all of the generals that Trump and admirals and top military leaders that Trump and Hegseth have fired recently. I mean, there's been like 20 or so that have been fired over the past 12 months or so.

21:40Ben Meiselas:And then recently a number have been fired, including the chief of staff of the army, the top position in the army. And then the Iranian embassy of South Africa goes, the regime change happened successfully, MAGA, and it's all the fire generals. So you see what's going on there. You think that this is a group of people who are going to give up the Strait of Hormuz. And by the way, if it's the CIA or Defense Department or whatever, you should be studying this to get an understanding culturally of what's happening. If you really want to do a negotiation, threatening to bomb them into the Stone Age is not the way to do it.

22:22Ben Meiselas:Saying, open up the effing Strait of Hormuz, you effing this, effing that. That's not going to do it. And so none of this has been thought through by the Trump regime. Clearly, this is only increasing the morale. They're emboldening Iran, right? That's the point of me showing this to you is that you can see what it is they're actually told, what's really going on across the world at Iranian embassies and missions across the world, right? That's actually what's happening. You're not hearing this in American media. You're not seeing any of that. That's why I did that exhaustive dive. I want to get into their head.

22:58Ben Meiselas:I want to get into their mindset. I want to see the moves of what's really happening. I think that's how you learn. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. Thank you so much for watching.
