Following President Donald Trump’s announcement of a two-week ceasefire in Iran, two Iranian embassies openly mocked him for his alleged ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Shortly before Trump’s ultimatum to Iran, where he warned of dire consequences if a deal was not reached, he revealed on Truth Social that a temporary truce had been agreed upon between the two nations, potentially leading to the reopening of the Hormuz Strait. Almost immediately after this declaration on Tuesday evening, online ridicule targeted Trump for allegedly backing down from his threats against Iran, with some labeling it as TACOing, an acronym for Trump Always Chickens Out.
The Iranian Embassies in Bulgaria and Tajikistan joined the mockery, insinuating that the conflict was a diversion from the Epstein scandal.
The Iranian Embassy in Tajikistan humorously commented, “I am trying to hide myself Thank you DONALD J.TRUMP,” accompanied by an Epstein meme, as reported by the Mirror US.
Similarly, the Iranian Embassy in Bulgaria shared an Epstein meme captioned “Pray to Epstein!”, depicting high-ranking officials, including Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, State Secretary Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, and President Trump, in a prayer circle around Epstein.
The ceasefire agreement follows the initiation of Operation Epic Fury by the US and Israel against Iran on February 28, resulting in the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a subsequent increase in fuel prices. Leading up to the conflict, numerous documents related to Epstein were made public by the Department of Justice.
While Trump has denied any wrongdoing connected to Epstein, stating no involvement in criminal activities or investigations, several European leaders faced resignations or arrests after being implicated in the Epstein files.
Some experts and global figures speculated that the US-Israeli military actions against Iran were a diversion from the unfolding revelations of powerful individuals linked to Epstein. Trump’s administration maintained that their military objectives in Iran were focused on regime dismantling and nuclear prevention.
