Iran has turned the narrative battle into a viral spectacle, mocking U.S. claims about “killer dolphins” in the Strait of Hormuz. Social media posts from Iranian diplomatic accounts featured dolphins, sharks and other sea creatures as “agents,” joking about alleged cooperation with Tehran. The satire comes after reports suggested Iran could deploy weaponised marine animals against U.S. warships. By leaning into humor, Iran appears to be ridiculing U.S. intelligence claims while shaping the information war. As tensions remain high in Hormuz, even memes are now becoming part of the geopolitical battlefield.
