‘We Will Kill Trump’: Iran Displays Threatening Billboards Across Tehran

Iran has stepped up its hostile messaging against US President Donald Trump, unveiling enormous billboards and banners across Tehran bearing threats against his life.

One of the most prominent displays, positioned above the crowded Enghelab Square, carried the inscription, “We will kill Trump”, with an illustration of the American president sitting behind bars with his head lowered.

A second billboard showed Trump alongside Vice President JD Vance, US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, all depicted with bloodied faces and torn clothing. The images appeared against a background of battered US and Israeli flags.

The displays attracted dozens of demonstrators to the square, where people waved red flags and held banners reading, “There will be blood”, while chanting for vengeance over the death of former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Khamenei was killed during US-Israeli strikes on February 28, an event that sparked the Middle East conflict.

Tehran has repeatedly installed provocative billboards and exhibitions mocking Trump, threatening revenge and portraying Iran as victorious against the United States.

The latest campaign comes amid renewed diplomatic initiatives aimed at securing negotiations between Iran and Washington and preventing another round of fighting, which has expanded across the region and contributed to rising global prices.

Trump, who is facing politically significant US midterm elections on Tuesday amid growing public anger partly over the Iran conflict, recently said an agreement with Tehran “could happen”.

In northern Tehran, an exhibition at Tajrish Square showcased paintings of Trump in disturbing and humiliating scenes. One artwork depicted him with a bloodied face on the ground as a foot pressed against his head, while another showed a bomb covering his face.

A replica prison cell, built to resemble a real jail, was also displayed nearby, with an actor portraying Trump remaining inside throughout the day. A screen beside the installation broadcast images of damage from US military strikes on Iran.

Iranian authorities have accused Trump of intentionally attacking civilian facilities during the war, including a school and a wedding ceremony, with dozens reportedly killed, including women and children.

Public murals and government-backed billboards have remained a common feature of Iran’s streets since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. They are regularly used to commemorate allies, celebrate military figures and convey political messages directed at opponents, especially the United States and Israel.
