Iran issues deadly threat against US president in Tehran, displays massive ‘We will kill Trump’ billboard

Iran has mounted large billboards and banners across its capital, Tehran, featuring threats against US President Donald Trump amid heightened tensions between the two countries.

One of the displays, erected above the busy Enghelab Square on Tuesday, carried the inscription, “We will kill Trump”, alongside an image portraying the US president behind bars with his head lowered.

Another billboard showed Trump alongside US Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The four leaders were depicted with bloodied faces and torn suits, against a backdrop of worn-out American and Israeli flags.

The image also showed worn-out American and Israeli flags in the background, further highlighting the anti-US and anti-Israel message being promoted through the public displays.

Dozens of people gathered in the square waving red flags and carrying banners reading: “There will be blood” while calling for revenge for slain supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in US-Israeli attacks on February 28, triggering the Middle East war.

New designs of billboards and displays mocking and vowing revenge against Trump and boasting of victory over the United States in the war have frequently been set up around Tehran.

In recent days, renewed diplomatic efforts have been underway to bring Tehran and Washington to negotiate to prevent a resumption in fighting which has spread across the region and driven prices up globally.

Trump, who on Tuesday faces crucial US midterm elections amid voter discontent driven in part by the Iran war, has said that a deal “could happen”.

In the busy Tajrish Square in northern Tehran, an open-air exhibition featured paintings of Trump, including one showing him with his face lying bloodied on the ground as a foot presses down on his head.

Another depicted a bomb obscuring his face.

Nearby, a life-sized replica of a jail cell has remained on display, with an actor impersonating Trump spending the day inside. An adjacent screen showed images of the damage caused by US strikes on Iran.

Tehran accuses Trump of deliberately targeting civilian sites during the war, including a school and a wedding ceremony, killing dozens of people including women and children.

State-sponsored billboards and murals have been a fixture of Iran’s public spaces since the 1979 Islamic revolution, used to honour allies, celebrate military figures and send political messages to adversaries, particularly the United States and Israel.
