Iran Unveils ‘We Will Kill Trump’ Billboard in Tehran Amid Rising Tensions With US

Iran has unveiled a massive billboard in its capital, Tehran, bearing the threatening message “We Will Kill Trump”, in an escalation of anti-American rhetoric amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington.

The billboard, displayed above the busy Enghelab Square on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, depicts US President Donald Trump behind prison bars with his head bowed beneath the threatening inscription.

The development comes as the conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel continues to generate tensions across the Middle East, despite renewed diplomatic efforts to prevent a fresh escalation of hostilities.

According to reports by the Agence France-Presse (AFP), another billboard displayed nearby features Trump, US Vice-President JD Vance, American special envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with bloodied faces and torn suits against the backdrop of damaged American and Israeli flags.

Dozens of people gathered around Enghelab Square, waving red flags and carrying banners bearing messages such as “There Will Be Blood”.

The gathering also featured calls for revenge over the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in US-Israeli attacks on February 28, 2026, which triggered the current regional conflict.

The latest displays are part of a series of anti-American and anti-Israeli messages that have appeared across Tehran since the outbreak of the war.

In recent days, an open-air exhibition at Tajrish Square in northern Tehran has also featured paintings portraying Trump in humiliating situations.

One of the artworks depicts the US President lying bloodied on the ground with a foot pressing against his head, while another shows a bomb obscuring his face.

A life-sized replica of a prison cell has also been installed at the exhibition, with an actor impersonating Trump sitting inside. A nearby screen reportedly displays images of destruction caused by US military strikes in Iran.

Iranian authorities have accused Trump of deliberately targeting civilian facilities during the conflict, including a school and a wedding ceremony, allegedly killing dozens of people.

The billboard campaign comes amid renewed diplomatic efforts to bring Washington and Tehran back to negotiations and prevent fighting from resuming across the region.

Trump, speaking ahead of the November 3 US midterm elections, has indicated that an agreement with Iran remains possible, saying a deal “could happen”.

The conflict has also contributed to rising global economic uncertainty, particularly in energy markets, amid concerns over disruptions to oil supplies and shipping routes.

Iran has a long history of using state-sponsored murals, billboards and public exhibitions to communicate political messages, celebrate military figures and express opposition to foreign governments, particularly the United States and Israel.

The latest billboard, however, stands out for its explicit threat against the American President at a time when diplomatic efforts are continuing to prevent another escalation of the conflict.
