Iranian regime puts up billboard in Tehran containing direct threats against Trump's life
In the same square, another billboard showed Trump alongside Vice President J.D. Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with bloodied faces and tattered suits against a backdrop of tarnished American and Israeli flags.
Protest in front of a billboard criticizing the U.S.
On Tuesday, the Iranian regime installed a massive billboard in Tehran's central Enghelab Square bearing the phrase "We Will Kill Trump," amid an escalation of official rhetoric against the United States during the war in the Middle East.
The image shows the president behind bars, with his head bowed and a defeated posture, in a composition designed to portray him as a prisoner and a symbol of Iranian vengeance.
A visual campaign of vengeance
The billboard is part of a series of posters and public displays that have appeared in Tehran since the start of the conflict on Feb. 28, when U.S. and Israeli attacks killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. According to AFP, in recent months, the capital has displayed images of Trump in coffins, prison cells and violent scenes as part of a message of revenge and resistance.

Mobilization and political message
Dozens of people gathered in Enghelab Square with red flags and banners bearing slogans such as "There will be blood." The protesters demanded revenge for Khamenei's death and echoed the official narrative that portrays the war as a struggle against the United States and Israel.
Iranian authorities are also displaying a life-size replica of a prison cell in Tajrish Square, with an actor portraying Trump inside. Nearby, an outdoor exhibition features paintings of the president and screens showing images of the damage caused by U.S. bombings in Iran.
Accusations and negotiations
Tehran accuses Trump of deliberately targeting civilian sites, including a school and a wedding ceremony, resulting in dozens of fatalities, among them women and children. The Iranian regime uses these accusations to justify its narrative of resistance and revenge.
Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts have been revived to prevent a resumption of fighting, which have spread throughout the region and put pressure on global oil prices. Trump, who faces midterm elections this Tuesday, has said that a deal "could happen," although Iran has warned that a new war could last longer than the previous one.
