Iran’s embassy in Tajikistan has shared a viral AI-edited clip appearing to show Jesus attacking former US President Donald Trump.
The account posted the clip after Trump had shared an AI-generated image on Truth Social showing himself in flowing robes, appearing to heal a sick man Jesus Christ would.
The original image quickly sparked backlash from Christian activists, conservative commentators, and religious figures, many of whom called it inappropriate and blasphemous.

The Iranian embassy’s edited clip flipped the narrative, showing an angry Jesus striking Trump, turning the social media debate into a diplomatic and political flashpoint.
The episode has since gone viral across platforms, with multiple Iranian diplomatic accounts joining in the online mockery.
Iran’s embassy in South Africa had also reposted Trump’s original AI image with mocking captions, using it as part of a bigger satirical campaign.
The backlash became so intense that Trump later deleted the original post, saying the public had misunderstood its intent and insisting it was meant to depict him as a doctor rather than a religious figure.
