In a short but blistering video now tearing through X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Reddit, Iranian Brigadier General Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesman for Iran’s Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, delivers a mocking jab straight at Donald Trump. Speaking in English, Zolfaghari looks into the camera and declares:
“Hey Trump, you are fired! You are familiar with this sentence. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

The line is a deliberate twist of Trump’s own famous “You’re fired!” catchphrase from The Apprentice—weaponized as a taunt amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions. Analysts say the timing is no accident: Trump has recently boasted that Iran’s military is “decimated” and issued ultimatums tied to operations like Epic Fury and threats over the Strait of Hormuz. Zolfaghari’s retort reframes the narrative, turning Trump’s pop-culture persona into a punchline.
Checked by MM News using multiple tools, the clip’s virality appeared undeniable. News outlets from The Jerusalem Post to regional aggregators have picked it up, while pro-Iran and pro-Palestine accounts hail it as psychological warfare. Fact-checkers, including MEAWW News, confirm the video is authentic and not AI-generated, cementing its role as official propaganda.
This isn’t Zolfaghari’s first English-language broadside. He has previously quipped that wars are decided “in the field, not by tweets” and mocked U.S. military branding by renaming Epic Fury as Epic Fear. Each statement is short, sharp, and clearly aimed at international audiences—especially in the U.S.—underscoring Iran’s strategy of mixing battlefield rhetoric with viral psyops.
With tensions between Washington, Tehran, and Tel Aviv running high in 2026, military experts believe this viral “You are fired” moment is more than just a meme. It’s a calculated strike in the information war, flipping Trump’s own cultural weapon back against him.
