Iran has mocked Donald Trump by posting a propaganda video of the US President being thrown into hell by Jesus Christ.
The Iranian Embassy in Tajikistan shared the clip on Wednesday as Trump continues to receive backlash for posting an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus following a row with the Pope.
A foreboding voice can be heard saying ‘Your reckoning has come’ at the beginning of the video.
Seconds later, Jesus swoops towards Trump from behind and punches him, causing him to bleed and scream as he descends into a fiery pit.
Trump ignited a feud with the Pope after he condemned rhetoric coming out of the White House and called for peace in the Middle East.
The president branded the pontiff ‘WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy’.
He then sparked further controversy after posting an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus Christ, triggering backlash among his usual supporters and Catholics on social media.
It came after the President claimed that Leo, 70, was only made Pope ‘because he was an American’, adding: ‘If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican.’
In the image posted on Truth Social, Trump appears dressed in red and white robes as he cures a man with his healing hand while the American flag waves in the background.
He later deleted it, claiming he viewed the picture as him being a Red Cross doctor.
‘Normally I don’t like doing that, but I didn’t want to have anybody be confused. People were confused,’ he added of his removal of the image.
He had earlier told reporters: ‘I’m not a big fan of Pope Leo. He’s a very liberal person, and he’s a man that doesn’t believe in stopping crime.’
Trump also accused the leader of the Catholic Church, which has 1.4billion members, of ‘toying with a country that wants a nuclear weapon’.
He lashed out again at the pontiff writing on Truth Social: ‘I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon.’
‘I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country,’ Trump said.
Pope Leo swiped back, claiming he has ‘no fear’ of Trump.
But Trump once again hit out at him Tuesday night, defending taking military action in Iran.
On Saturday, the Pope told worshippers at St Peter’s Basilica: ‘Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!’
And last week he criticized the President over his threats against the country, when he warned that ‘a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again’.
The Pope called it a ‘truly unacceptable’ statement.
On Wednesday, Trump has declared the Strait of Hormuz ‘permanently open’ after secret talks with Xi Jinping, claiming the Chinese leader had agreed to stop arming Iran.
He made the announcement Wednesday on Truth Social, adding that Xi would give him ‘a big, fat, hug’ at an upcoming meeting.
‘China is very happy that I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social. ‘I am doing it for them, also – And the World. This situation will never happen again.’
He made the announcement Wednesday on Truth Social, adding that Xi would give him ‘a big, fat, hug’ at an upcoming meeting.
