A giant billboard depicting a disheveled caricature of President Donald Trump lying in a black coffin has appeared in central Tehran, the latest piece of anti-American propaganda unveiled by Iranian authorities as fighting between the United States and Iran continues to intensify.
Installed in Tehran’s Enghelab (Islamic Revolution) Square, the billboard features the English-language message “We Will Kill Trump” alongside an image of the president inside an open coffin. Photos of the display quickly circulated online after being captured by international news photographers. (RELATED: Trump Shares Instructions For Military In Event Of His Assassination By Iran)
New threat follows days of anti-Trump messaging
The billboard comes less than a week after massive funeral processions for former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, where mourners carried banners threatening Trump and chanted calls for revenge following Khamenei’s death.
Those demonstrations included signs reading “We Will Kill Trump” and chants vowing retaliation against the United States and Israel. The new billboard appears to extend that messaging campaign into one of nation’s busiest public squares. (RELATED: Iran Escalates Again. What’s At Stake?)
Display appears as fighting intensifies
The installation comes as U.S. and Iranian forces continue exchanging strikes following the collapse of a ceasefire reached earlier this year.
President Trump has ordered multiple rounds of airstrikes targeting Iranian military sites, while Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks against U.S. interests and regional partners. The two countries remain locked in a widening confrontation centered on the Strait of Hormuz and other strategic targets.
Part of Iran’s propaganda campaign
Enghelab Square has long served as a prominent location for government-backed political displays, particularly during periods of heightened tensions with the United States and Israel. Analysts say the imagery is intended to project defiance at home while signaling that Iran remains committed to confronting Washington despite sustained military pressure.
The Trump billboard is among the most explicit threats displayed publicly by the Iranian regime in recent years, portraying the American president as dead while pairing the image with a direct threat in English aimed at an international audience.
The Washington Examiner continues:
Among the graffiti was a reference to the Minab elementary school, saying, “In memory of Minab’s children.”
The school was struck by multiple munitions believed to be U.S. Tomahawk missiles in the first hours of Operation Epic Fury, killing over 100 young school children. U.S. officials have said the incident is under review, but preliminary reports indicate the strike was a mistake based on outdated targeting data. The school used to be part of an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base, but was walled off from the compound several years ago.
The explicit threat to kill Trump, displayed in disturbing visual detail, is all the more notable as it comes from a state-adjacent propaganda campaign. The propaganda billboards displayed in Tehran’s Revolution Square are operated by Tehran Municipality’s Beautification Organization in coordination with the Islamic Propagation Organization, according to Jerusalem News Syndicate. Many of the billboards are designed by artists with the Owj Arts and Media Organization, a group affiliated with the Guard.
Iran has spearheaded the use of digital art for its propaganda, especially since the beginning of the war. Past propaganda billboards have focused on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, depictions of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei leading Iranian troops, and retaliatory missile barrages.

The sign read, “who is D nexT one?” with the capitalized letters highlighting Trump’s initials. Beneath the message was the hashtag “#lindseygraham.”
Neither the White House nor the State Department immediately commented on the billboard. The display appeared as the Trump administration continued military operations against Iran and warned that additional strikes remain possible if Tehran escalates the conflict further.
