Iran’s embassy in Tajikistan has posted an AI-generated video of Jesus punching Donald Trump in the face and throwing him into the fiery pit of hell.

The mocking clip, shared by the Dushanbe mission on April 14 as Trump continued to draw fire for posting an image of himself as a miracle-working Jesus, starts with a chilling voice saying, “Your reckoning has come”, and Trump shouting "No!!" Jesus then swoops towards the figure of Trump from behind and punches him, causing blood to splurt from his mouth and knocking him into the flames below.

The video is one of several released by Iranian embassies trolling Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Several embassies of Iran around the world have engaged in a heavy social media battle with the Trump administration amid the US-Israeli war with the Iranian regime, which included the February 28 killing of Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei in missiles strikes that started the conflict.

AI-generated propaganda videos created by Iranian media company Explosive Media, showing American, Israeli and Iranian leaders as Lego minifigures, have won acclaim. They lampoon Trump and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, while glorifying Iran’s military capability.

The Trump administration, meanwhile, has used images from the video game series Grand Theft Auto and “SpongeBob SquarePants” to big up the successes of the US armed forces.

Trump’s post depicting him as a healing Jesus provoked a backlash among his conservative and Christian base. Many of his supporters have said the clip is blasphemous.

Trump responded in comments to reporters that he “thought it was me as a doctor.”

Vice President JD Vance, a Catholic, said the post was a joke that was removed from circulation because Trump “realised that a lot of people weren’t understanding his humour”.

Trump this week has also entered into a feud with Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV, who has been outspoken over the war on Iran.

Trump hit back by saying he was “not a big fan” of the pontiff, whom he said was “very liberal” and “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy”.
