CNN wrote in a report: In response to US President Donald Trump's statements about ownership of the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian diplomats in India published a map of the United States in which California is marked with the phrase: "The new territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran."

This Trump-critical media outlet added: Although the post published by the Iranian consulate in Hyderabad is humorous and ironic, according to the Immigration Policy Institute, California is home to the largest population of Iranian immigrants in the United States.

CNN wrote: Most of these Iranians live in the Los Angeles area, and many Iranians living in this area refer to this city as "Teharangels"; a combination of the names Tehran and Los Angeles.

Many experts have assessed Trump's actions to change the current geography of the world as a result of his mental illness and narcissism. He has so far made various claims regarding ownership of Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, and other regions of the world.
