Iran has installed a massive billboard in central Tehran portraying U.S. President Donald Trump lying inside a coffin, following public calls to assassinate the American leader during the recent funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The giant display, positioned at the prominent Enghelab Square, was photographed on Wednesday and widely circulated by international news agencies inclusing Aljazeera.
The location is well known for showcasing political messages, revolutionary imagery and portraits of prominent leaders.
In the newly unveiled artwork, Trump is depicted inside an open black coffin. His eyes are shut, his mouth is closed, and his signature hair appears unkempt. His hands are folded over a red tie resting on his chest, while his feet extend toward the end of the coffin, creating a striking and symbolic image.
Political displays featuring hostile messages are not uncommon at Enghelab Square.
Earlier this year, in January, another billboard illustrated what appeared to be an attack on a U.S. warship, leaving behind a trail of blood designed to resemble the red stripes of the American flag.
The latest installation comes amid intensified propaganda in Iran centered on avenging Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed at the onset of the war on February 28. Calls for retribution have become increasingly prominent in public messaging, although depictions as graphic as the Trump coffin image have been relatively rare.
White graffiti painted across the coffin bears the message “We Will Kill Trump” in both Persian and English. The style resembles the blackboard walls that were displayed during memorial ceremonies for Khamenei, where mourners wrote messages in chalk. Additional writing on the billboard identifies the late supreme leader as a martyr.
The artwork also includes the phrase “In memory of Minab’s children,” referring to the southern Iranian city of Minab, where an elementary school was struck on February 28. The school was hit at the same time as an attack targeting a nearby Iranian naval base.
In March, U.S. officials disclosed that preliminary findings from an investigation suggested the school strike was the result of an American targeting mistake. The incident has remained a source of anger in Iran and has continued to feature prominently in official messaging and public displays linked to the conflict.
The billboard is the latest example of Tehran's use of large-scale political imagery to communicate its stance amid escalating tensions with the United States and the broader regional conflict.
