A billboard in Tehran depicted a dead President Donald Trump in a coffin with threats of revenge, including phrases like \u201cWe will kill Trump.\u201d This imagery coincided with a propaganda campaign that includes other billboards, some designed by artists affiliated with the Iranian military, that threaten violence against Trump and reference recent events, such as the death of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the anniversary of a school bombing that killed over 100 children, which U.S. officials believe was a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s propaganda also uses digital art and plays with language in English, notably a billboard questioning \u201cwho is D nexT one?\u201d and referencing Senator Lindsey Graham, suggesting a threat toward Trump using initials and wordplay. The campaign often ties recent incidents, historical grievances, and conspiracy theories-including links to Jeffrey Epstein-to bolster its narratives. The overall tone of the propaganda underscores Iran\u2019s intent to threaten and intimidate, especially in the context of ongoing conflicts and US-Iran tensions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Tehran billboard displayed an image of a dead President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> as <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"100\">Iran<\/a> ramps up its <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4644981\/trump-threat-decimation-iran-assassination-order\/\">death threats<\/a> against the American president, after the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/4640520\/trump-options-iran-ceasefire-strait-hormuz-over-us-strikes\/\">collapse of the deal<\/a> and ceasefire between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has faced repeated death threats from Iran since the United States assassinated former Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani in 2020, but the threats have escalated drastically since he launched the ongoing war with Iran.

The school used to be part of an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps base, but was walled off from the compound several years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.
