'We Will Kill Trump': Iran Puts Up Giant Billboard Showing US President in Black Coffin (Video)
Tensions between the United States and Iran escalated sharply on Thursday, July 16, 2026, following the appearance of a massive public billboard in Tehran depicting US President Donald Trump in a coffin.
A giant billboard depicting US President Donald Trump lying inside a black coffin has been installed at Tehran's Enghelab (Revolution) Square, drawing international attention amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States. The display, which includes the message "We will kill Trump," comes days after anti-US slogans were raised during funeral ceremonies for Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as reported by TOI.

Iran Unveils Giant Billboard Depicting Donald Trump in Coffin With ‘We Will Kill Trump’ Message
The imagery has been widely circulated on social media and international news platforms, with the display seen as a reflection of the sharp rhetoric that has emerged following recent developments in the region.
Display Follows Anti-US Sentiment at Khamenei Funeral
The billboard appears against the backdrop of heightened anti-American sentiment in Iran following the death of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. During funeral processions held earlier this month, large crowds chanted slogans calling for retaliation against the United States and displayed placards targeting President Trump.
Iranian state-backed messaging has continued to emphasize resistance against the US and Israel following the recent conflict, with the latest billboard becoming one of the most visible public displays of that sentiment.

Part of Escalating Regional Tensions
The installation comes as relations between Washington and Tehran remain strained following recent military confrontations in the Middle East. Diplomatic efforts have largely stalled, while both sides have exchanged strong statements in the aftermath of the conflict.
Analysts say symbolic displays such as the Tehran billboard are intended to reinforce political messaging domestically and internationally during periods of heightened geopolitical tension. However, such imagery also risks further inflaming already fragile relations between the two countries.
International Attention
The billboard has attracted widespread international media coverage because of its explicit imagery and messaging directed at the US president. While Iranian authorities have not issued an official statement specifically addressing the installation, the display has become another flashpoint in the ongoing confrontation between Iran and the United States.
Relations between the United States and Iran have remained volatile in recent months following military strikes, retaliatory attacks and the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Public displays, political messaging and demonstrations have reflected the continuing hostility, with both countries remaining at odds over regional security and broader geopolitical issues.
