Iran's Consulate in India's Hyderabad took a swipe at US President's 'Strait of Trump' remark, sharing a map of Little Saint James Island, linked to child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The consulate posted on X, suggesting that the 'Strait of Trump' was located next to Epstein Island, in response to Trump's comment on the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump had referred to the key waterway as the 'Strait of Trump' while speaking at a Saudi-backed FII Priority investment forum in Miami, saying Iran must allow oil shipments to pass through it as part of any peace agreement.
The Strait of Hormuz is the world's busiest oil transport route, and its closure has led to a sharp drop in global petroleum supply, pushing fuel prices higher and forcing oil-producing nations to reduce output.
The waterway is around 33 kilometres wide at its narrowest point and links the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, serving as the main route for large tankers transporting oil and gas from several countries.
