Iran Unveils Billboard With Threat Against Trump's Life
State-backed displays in Tehran escalate anti-Trump messaging as officials accuse the United States of killing civilians and seek revenge for wartime losses.
On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Tehran unveiled a massive billboard at Enghelab Square depicting President Donald Trump behind bars and pledging to kill him, elevating official rhetoric against the United States.
Tensions escalated after the war began February 28, 2026, when US-Israeli strikes killed the Islamic Republic's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, prompting frequent anti-Trump displays across the capital.
In Tajrish Square, an open-air exhibition displays anti-Trump paintings, including one referencing Belgian surrealist Magritte's 1964 painting "The Son of Man," while an actor impersonates the president inside a mock jail cell.
Amid regional fighting, renewed diplomatic efforts seek to bring Iran and Washington to the table; Trump, who faces midterm elections, said a deal "could happen," despite Iranian accusations that he targeted civilian sites.
State-Sponsored murals and billboards have remained a fixture of Iranian public spaces since the 1979 Islamic revolution, serving to honor allies and send political messages to adversaries, particularly the United States.
In the same square, another fence showed Trump along with Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with bloody faces and worn-out costumes on deteriorated American and Israeli flags.
