- Iran's Consulate General in Hyderabad, India, countered the meme by posting an AI-generated image of an official holding a smaller hand of cards, captioned 'Yes, we have less cards,' mocking the president's diplomacy.

- The incident illustrates risks of political communication via AI-generated memes, as the post generated backlash from observers across the political spectrum who questioned the administration's understanding of the game's basic rules.
