India, April 24 -- Iran mocked US President Donald Trump with a sharp social media post praising Maharashtra's cultural diversity, a day after the American leader's "hell-hole" remark triggered strong criticism from New Delhi.

Iran's Consulate General in Mumbai shared a video highlighting Maharashtra's rich cultural heritage, suggesting that a visit to the state could help Trump undergo a "cultural detox."

"Maybe someone should book a one-way cultural detox for Mr. #Trump, it might just reduce the random bakwaas," the Consulate posted on X, taking a swipe at Trump over his controversial remark.

"Kabhi #India aa ke dekho, phir bolna (First come and see India and then comment on it)," the post added.
