'A college student convicted of stabbing a blind date during sex as revenge for a US drone strike that killed an Iranian commander now insists she was hallucinating amid the frenzied attack, telling The Post she believed she was Salma Hayek’s character in “From Dusk Till Dawn.”

Nika Nikoubin, 23, also claims she only told authorities the stabbing was retaliation for the deadly 2020 drone strike that targeted the military leader because she thought she was starring in a “Homeland” episode by the time she was interrogated.

The Texas student, who has schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, detailed her mindset to The Post on Tuesday — just weeks after a judge sentenced her to three years probation for stabbing her date, Daniel Trevino, in the neck during a rendezvous in a Las Vegas-area hotel last year.

“I was in a very manic state of mind,” Nikoubin said.

“I essentially looked in the mirror and I thought, ‘This actress is hot,’ thinking I’m Salma Hayek from the ‘Dusk Till Dawn’ movie, and I was hallucinating there was a snake around my shoulders,” she added, referring to Quentin Tarantino’s 1996 screenplay.

After pleading guilty to two counts of false imprisonment with the use of a deadly weapon, the judge sentenced Nikoubin to probation and house arrest — citing her mental health struggles as the reason for avoiding prison.'
