## Prompt

```text
A humorous political meme illustration in a simple countryball cartoon style, showing the current situation at the {location_label} as a narrow chokepoint. Use a wide landscape composition with bright flat colors, thick black outlines, and a clean hand-drawn infographic-like look. In the foreground, place 2 countryballs standing shoulder to shoulder on an extremely narrow sandy land bridge with rocks along both sides, making it obvious that only one can pass at a time. On the left is a {left_country} countryball painted with the American flag, wearing black sunglasses and a brown cowboy hat, facing the other ball with a stubborn attitude. On the right is an {right_country} countryball painted with the Iranian flag, wearing a dark turban-like hat, with angry slanted eyes, also refusing to move. Add 2 large white speech bubbles, one beside each countryball, and put the same bold Korean word in both bubbles: {speech_bubble_text}. In the midground and background, show a busy blue sea crowded with 9 ships total: 2 gray US warships on the far left, 1 Chinese submarine with a red Chinese flag, 4 oil tankers lined up in the center-left and center carrying different national flags, and 2 gray military ships near the narrow passage with small American flags. At the top right, include a large Iranian flag overlay along the coastline. Draw beige landmasses around the waterway to resemble a simplified map view of the Strait of Hormuz. At the bottom center, add a bold caption in Korean and English on the sand: {bottom_caption}. The mood should be satirical, tense, and meme-like, but visually cute and readable.
