Mumbai, April 14

Consulate General of Iran in Mumbai on Tuesday quoted a famous dialogue by Actor Shah Rukh Khan "Abhi toh sirf trailer hai, picture abhi baaki hai".

The Consulate said that US President Donald Trump claimed that Iran's Navy was finished, but the fast missile boats are warming up.

In a post on X, it said, "Hormuz- "Red bees of the Persian Gulf" yeah, the fast missile boats are warming up. Funny how Trump kept claiming Iran's navy was "finished"... now they're about to find out how a swarm can pin you down real quick. Abhi toh sirf trailer hai, picture abhi baaki hai."

This comes as US President Donald Trump said that Iran wants to make a deal.

Earlier in the day, when Trump received a DoorDash delivery, he made remarks on Iran, praising US Vice President JD Vance, his son-in-law Jared Kushner and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff for their talks with Iran.

"Well, he's done a good job, and Steve and Jared, they've all done a very good job. And I can tell you that we've been called by the other side; they'd like to make a deal very badly. Very badly," Trump said.

"It was over nuclear, very similar, yeah. Very good, I guess you're listening. It's over the fact that they will never have a nuclear weapon. Iran, you mark it down, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. And we agreed to a lot of things, but they didn't agree to that. And I think they will agree to it, I'm almost sure of it. In fact, I am sure of it. If they don't agree, there's no deal; there'll never be a deal. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon and we're going to get the hostages back. We'll get it back either way; we'll get it back from them or we'll take it," he added.

As an Indian, I'm concerned. We have good relations with both Iran and the US. This posturing puts countries like us in a difficult spot. We need stability in the region for our energy security and the safety of our diaspora in the Gulf.

SRK's dialogue from "Om Shanti Om" trending for geopolitics! Never thought I'd see the day. The consulate's social media admin is definitely a desi. But beyond the meme, hope cooler heads prevail. War helps no one.

Respectfully, using movie quotes for serious military threats feels a bit flippant. The "swarm" of boats is a real concern for global shipping lanes. India imports a lot of oil through that region. This needs sober diplomacy, not pop culture references.

Trump says "Iran will not have a nuclear weapon." That's the bottom line for everyone, right? The method matters though. Maximum pressure hasn't worked fully. Maybe a deal is possible, but the trust is completely broken. India should play a neutral role if it can.

The consulate is in Mumbai, so they're speaking the local language, literally and figuratively! It's smart PR. But let's not forget the human cost of any escalation. Many Indian families have loved ones working in the Middle East. Peace is paramount. 🙏
