The Iranian embassy in South Africa poked fun at US President Donald Trump by using a supposed old quote from his late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump. The unverified quote circulating online portrays Trump in a harsh and insulting way, often used by his critics to attack him. The quote from late Mary Anne hoped that Trump would never venture into politics; otherwise, it would be devastating for everyone. The quote is being used by the Iranian embassy in South Africa as part of its broader propaganda campaign to delegitimise the Trump administration, or more specifically, Donald Trump."Yes, he's an idiot with zero common sense and no social skills, but he is my son.

The quote is information warfare, using Trump's mother, which comes amid a serious escalation in the US-Iran war. The US-Israeli joint strike has killed several leaders of the Iranian camp, including the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Chief of Security Ali Ardashir Larijani. It also killed innocent children of the Minab School. Iran had long hated US President Donald Trump and had not hidden its ambition to assassinate the US President. Iran also did not shy away from its propaganda campaign, using Trump's link to the notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. It shared an AI-generated video suggesting the war in Iran was a diversion from the Epstein scandal brewing domestically. Other such videos feature Netanyahu and Trump bowing to the ancient Canaanite deity and Biblical demon Baal, Trump lying about the Minab school strike, and the selection of the Mojtaba Khamenei as the Supreme leader.The Iranian embassy in South Africa represents Iran, so South Africa legally can't censor its speech. Further, Iran and South Africa have shared a very deep relationship. Along with India and Egypt, Iran became one of the first few nations to sever ties with the apartheid regime in South Africa. In 1992, Nelson Mandela visited Tehran to express gratitude to then Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei for Iran's stance and pivotal role in the liberation movement of South Africa.&nbsp;

Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has underscored the urgent need to restore stability in West Asia amid escalating tensions and conflict, especially the ongoing US‑Iran war and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz. Jaishankar stressed diplomatic engagement, protecting Indian nationals abroad, and keeping vital energy and trade routes open as key priorities


Breaking: Indian EAM Jaishankar Emphasises Need to Restore Stability in West Asia

Iran’s Armed Forces spokesperson Abolfazl Shekarchi has issued a strong warning to the United States and Israel amid the escalating US-Iran war, saying attacks on Iranian territory and civilians will face decisive retaliation. He also warned that public spaces, parks, and tourist locations linked to adversaries may no longer be safe, signalling a possible widening of the conflict beyond traditional battle zones.


US-Iran War: Iran's Military Spokesperson Abolfazl Shekarchi Warns US, Israel 

Amid the escalating US-Iran war, Iran has intensified attacks on shipping lanes and energy infrastructure across the Gulf region, raising concerns about rising global fuel prices and supply disruptions. The crisis around the Strait of Hormuz a chokepoint for nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply has already forced tanker rerouting, halted shipments, and pushed insurance costs higher.


US-Iran War: Iran Targets Shipping and Energy to Raise Global Costs

Amid the escalating US-Iran war, the United States has temporarily lifted sanctions on Iranian oil already at sea in a bid to stabilise global energy markets. The 30-day waiver could release nearly 140 million barrels of crude into international supply chains as oil prices surge above $100 per barrel following disruptions linked to the Strait of Hormuz crisis.

Israeli media reports claim the United States used bunker-buster bombs in recent strikes on Iran’s heavily fortified Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, a key site in Tehran’s uranium programme. The underground complex is designed to withstand conventional airstrikes, making deep-penetration munitions critical for targeting it.

A US F-35 stealth fighter jet has encountered a rare and high-risk engagement scenario while operating over Iranian airspace, underscoring the evolving intensity of the US-Iran war. Reports indicate the aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing after sustaining possible damage, with investigations underway into whether Iranian air defences successfully struck the jet.

Iran’s use of cluster‑warhead missiles in the ongoing Israel‑Iran war has posed a serious test to Israel’s air defence systems. Instead of a single warhead, these missiles open mid‑air and release multiple submunitions, spreading dozens of smaller explosives over a wide area -a tactic aimed at overwhelming point‑defence systems like the Iron Dome and long‑range interceptors.


Israel-Iran War: Iran's Cluster Strike Strategy Tests Israel’s Defences

The United States has launched a major military offensive to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil chokepoint, after Iran disrupted shipping routes during the ongoing war. US forces, including A-10 attack aircraft, Apache helicopters, and naval units, are targeting Iranian boats, drones, and missile positions to restore safe passage. 


US-Iran War: US Launches Offensive to Reopen Strait of Hormuz

Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, has drawn a sharp comparison between the current US-Iran conflict and the Vietnam War, warning that official American narratives may not reflect realities on the ground. In a series of posts, Araghchi invoked a well-known episode from the Vietnam era, the “Five O’Clock Follies,” the daily US military briefings in Saigon that painted an overly optimistic picture despite mounting casualties and setbacks.&nbsp;He pointed to how William Westmoreland, who led US forces in Vietnam, reassured Americans in 1967 that victory was within reach. Yet shortly afterward, the Tet Offensive exposed the gap between official claims and battlefield reality, shaking public confidence. Araghchi suggested a similar disconnect on Friday (March 20). He criticised statements from US officials, including Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, who recently claimed that American forces were achieving decisive success against Iran.&nbsp;According to Araghchi, events tell a different story. He referenced reports of a US F-35 fighter jet being damaged during operations over Iran, forcing an emergency landing. US Central Command acknowledged the incident, saying the aircraft landed safely and an investigation is underway.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/iran-s-supreme-leader-mojtaba-khamenei-calls-father-s-death-tragedy-of-martyrdom-denies-iran-role-in-turkey-oman-attacks-1774022396444">Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei calls father’s death 'tragedy of martyrdom', denies Iran's role in Turkey, Oman attacks</a>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">The media haven’t forgotten either; those briefings full of fantasy from the frontlines became infamous as the “Five O’Clock Follies.&quot;” Fast forward to today: same script, different stage; Hegseth steps up, and the message is still detached from reality.&mdash; Seyed Abbas Araghchi (@araghchi) <a href="https://twitter.com/araghchi/status/2035002053270151294?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 20, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Iranian sources, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, have circulated footage allegedly showing the aircraft being struck. If confirmed, it would mark a rare instance of the advanced jet being hit in combat. Araghchi also cited movements of US naval forces, claiming that aircraft carriers like the USS Gerald R. Ford and USS Abraham Lincoln had pulled back from forward positions. However, US reports indicate that the Ford was heading for repairs after a non-combat fire onboard, while redeployments may be strategic rather than retreat-driven.&nbsp;The conflict has already taken a toll. Reports indicate at least 13 US service members have been killed, with around 200 wounded. Iranian authorities, meanwhile, claim over 1,400 fatalities and thousands more injured. The Vietnam analogy carries historical weight. The US became deeply involved in Vietnam during the Cold War, escalating under Lyndon B Johnson after initial support started under Dwight D Eisenhower. Despite deploying more than 500,000 troops and carrying out extensive bombing campaigns, the US struggled to defeat North Vietnamese forces and their southern allies, the Viet Cong.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/us-iran-war-houthis-ready-to-hit-saudi-us-in-battle-for-red-sea-1774026884794/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/us-iran-war-houthis-ready-to-hit-saudi-us-in-battle-for-red-sea-1774026884794/embed</a>&nbsp;Although US and South Vietnamese forces repelled the Tet Offensive militarily, it revealed that the enemy remained far stronger than officials had suggested. Public opinion in the United States shifted dramatically, fueling widespread protests, with figures like Muhammad Ali among the prominent critics.&nbsp;The war ultimately ended with the US withdrawal under Richard Nixon in 1973, followed by the fall of Saigon in 1975. The conflict left more than 58,000 Americans dead, while Vietnamese casualties ran into the millions. By invoking Vietnam, Araghchi is signaling that prolonged conflict, rising losses, and overly optimistic official messaging could lead to a similar erosion of credibility for US leadership today.&nbsp;Disclaimer: WION takes utmost care to accurately and responsibly report ongoing conflicts in West Asia involving Israel, Iran, the US, Gulf nations, and non-state actors like Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, Islamic State, and others.
