Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has accused Iran of being “detached from reality” after it circulated an AI-generated video depicting Jesus punching Donald Trump into hell.

Days after Trump himself posted a controversial image portraying himself as a Christ-like figure, Hegseth blasted the Iranian regime for pushing out their own imagery mocking the president’s post.
