The Iranian embassy in Tunisia on Wednesday used an Akshay Kumar meme to poke fun at US President Donald Trump after Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they captured a US submarine drone at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. However, the Pentagon said the defective drone was "an older model" and did not collect sensitive data or carry classified sonar or radar equipment.

The Iranian embassy in Tunisia on Wednesday used an Akshay Kumar meme to poke fun at US President Donald Trump after Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they captured a US submarine drone at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz.

"Lost an underwater [drone]. Oil is nearing $100. Elections are coming. How’s it going, Trump?" read the post on the X handle of the Iranian embassy in Tunasia, accompanied by the Akshay Kumar meme.

The meme features Akshay Kumar's expressions from one of his movies, including his famous 'fake-crying' act.

"We trapped one of the most modern, intelligent and unmanned submarines of the terrorist American army at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. This submersible is equipped with the latest technologies," the Revolutionary Guards Navy said. 

Iran's state media described the vessel as a Dive-LD, a large uncrewed underwater vehicle built by Anduril, a California defense firm. The 5.8-metre submarine drone can carry out anti-mine operations, map seabed and inspect underwater infrastructure like pipelines and cables.

However, the Pentagon said the defective drone was "an older model" and did not collect sensitive data or carry classified sonar or radar equipment.
