A sharp diplomatic exchange has erupted after US President Donald Trump’s controversial remarks on birthright citizenship and immigration triggered global backlash. In a strongly worded response, Iran has taken direct aim at Trump’s rhetoric, particularly his reference to India and China as “hellholes”, turning the narrative into a broader critique of US political discourse. Tehran didn’t hold back. Iran’s consulate in Hyderabad defended India and China as historic cradles of civilisation, pushing back against what it described as dismissive and inflammatory language. The response went further, accusing Trump of inhumanity and warning against rhetoric that undermines global harmony. WATCH
