Iran on Friday (Apr 17) mocked the United States for feeding its soldiers pitiful portions, as reports suggest that US warships deployed in the Middle East are battling food shortages. In a post on X, the Iranian embassy in Sierra Leone shared images showing meagre food portions allegedly being served to US troops. The post took aim at Washington's role in the region, referring to American soldiers as "Israel’s foot soldiers" amid the Iran war. "They sure get to die for them, though!," it added mockingly. This comes as concerns grow among families of service members over dwindling supplies and declining morale at sea.<h2>'They sure get to die for them, though!'</h2>Amid the Iran war, Iran has significantly stepped up its meme warfare, posting a spate of posts, including videos, trolling both of its adversaries: the US and Iran. On Day 47 of the conflict in West Asia, Iran took aim at the food being served to active duty personnel. "No goodies on the table for Israel's foot soldiers..." it said."They sure get to die for them, though!," added the post. Since the war began on February 28, at least 13 US soldiers have been killed, and another 365 have been injured.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-hungry-all-the-time-uss-tripoli-and-uss-abraham-lincoln-crews-report-food-shortages-amid-supply-delays-amid-deployment-in-middle-east-1776387104914">'Hungry all the time': USS Tripoli and USS Abraham Lincoln crews report food shortages amid supply delays amid deployment in Middle East</a>
