'It might reduce the random bakwaas': Iran defends India after Trump's 'hellhole' remark repost

'Kabhi India aa ke dekho, phir bolna,' Iran’s high commission in Mumbai posted on X.

US President Donald Trump recently had reposted a social media post that referred to India and some other countries as "hellholes" in context of immigration.

India's External Ministry had reacted to the repost, and called it "uninformed and inappropriate".

India's response came after a row erupted when US President Donald Trump reposted comments by American radio show host Michael Savage that contained derogatory references to India.

In recent developments, Iran’s high commission in Mumbai took a jibe at Trump and shared a post on X, calling out the "random bakwaas".

The account posted visuals of Maharashtra, showing the culture, busy city life, and skyscrapers. The clip then goes on to show the other side of Maharashtra -- green hills, waterfalls, and water bodies.

"Kabhi India aa ke dekho, phir bolna (Visit India sometime and then speak)," the caption further read.

The video garnered over 774k views and a flurry of comments.

"Don't forget the spots that sell Irani chai in Mumbai," a comment read.

Another user wrote, "Thank you, Iran, for standing with India against the bully."

"Thanks Iran! I wish Indian diplomats & politicians had even 1 per cent of courage like yours!!" commented a third.

The row started after Trump reposted a controversial letter that referred to countries such as India and China as "hellholes", while arguing against birthright citizenship in the United States.

In the reposted text, the author criticises the policy of granting automatic citizenship to those born on US soil.

The post claims such provisions allow immigrants to establish a foothold in the country through childbirth, suggesting that a child born in the US becomes an “instant citizen” and can later enable extended family members to migrate.
