As a fragile ceasefire holds between the US and Iran, diplomacy plays out online with Iranian missions responding to Washington's pressure with humour.
The Iranian embassy in Tunis posted a satirical exchange about the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil route, after an Iranian lawmaker said some ships were being asked to pay as much as $2 million to pass through.
The post was later deleted, but the irony is hard to miss, as Tehran couches its messaging in 'politeness'.
Ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has slowed dramatically, with only a handful of vessels moving through the critical energy corridor.
Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization has announced two designated 'safe routes' for vessels to avoid potential anti-ship mines.
The Strait of Hormuz has remained largely paralysed since the war began on February 28, with traffic still far below pre-conflict levels despite the truce.
