Iran has turned to artificial intelligence to launch a viral attack on Donald Trump and the US Navy as tensions escalate in the Strait of Hormuz.
On Monday, 13 April 2026, the Iranian embassy in Zimbabwe posted a 'Pirates of the Caribbean'-style poster on X. Styled as a Hollywood blockbuster advert, the poster bears the title 'Pirates of the Hormuz' in the unmistakable font reminiscent of Disney movie, and features a Trump lookalike as an 18th‑century pirate captain, in full tricorne hat and long coat, brandishing a cutlass amidst a sea of burning oil tankers and modern helicopters. The character's pose and expression appear designed to evoke Jack Sparrow without copying him outright.
