[74499] Iranian Minister of Education: Final exams depend on the approval of 'Uncle Trump'
The Iranian Minister of Education announced that the final exam schedules are ready, but their commencement is conditional upon the consent of US President Donald Trump.
The date of final exams in Iran depends on President Trump's decision
The Iranian Minister of Education announced today, May 29, 2026, that the schedules for the final exams in the education system are ready for implementation. However, the minister clarified that holding the exams on their scheduled date, July 21, is conditional upon the approval of the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
The report, published simultaneously on the Telegram channels یِ دانش آموز and هات نیوز | فوری 🔴, quotes the minister using the nickname "Uncle Trump" ("عمو ترامپ"). According to the report in یِ دانش آموز, the statement made was: "If Uncle Trump permits us, we will begin [the exams] from July 21."
Both channels, known for dealing with domestic affairs and updates from the Iranian arena, presented the matter as a settled fact. The use of the phrase "Uncle Trump" highlights the perceived dependence of internal systems in Iran on the foreign policy of the US administration, and reflects sharp political satire within an ostensibly official announcement regarding the education system.
