AI Summary

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) mocked President Trump by invoking his famous "You're fired!" catchphrase from his reality television show "The Apprentice," according to Reuters. The mockery appears to be a rhetorical jab amid escalating tensions between the Trump administration and Iran, which have intensified since Trump took office in January 2025. The IRGC's use of Trump's signature phrase suggests an attempt to ridicule the president while responding to U.S. policy actions or rhetoric. The exchange reflects the broader adversarial relationship between Washington and Tehran, particularly given Trump's historically hardline stance toward Iran.
