‘Blood for Blood,’ ‘We Kill Trump’, and Trump in a coffin — Iran’s growing campaign of anti-US billboards, graffiti
As the conflict between the United States and Iran intensifies, Tehran's streets have become a powerful stage for state-backed political messaging. Across major public squares
As the conflict between the United States and Iran intensifies, Tehran's streets have become a powerful stage for state-backed political messaging. Across major public squares, giant billboards, murals and graffiti have appeared carrying increasingly explicit threats against US President Donald Trump, his family and other American leaders. The displays, unveiled following the killing of Iran's former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several members of his family in US-Israeli strikes on February 28, have become a prominent feature of the capital's landscape. Many of the installations invoke themes of revenge, while others directly depict Trump in coffins, reflecting the deepening hostility between Tehran and Washington. Here are the anti-US billboards and murals that have appeared across Tehran. 'Blood for Blood' billboard targets Trump and his family One of the most striking displays was installed in Palestine Square, a landmark in central Tehran. The massive billboard depicts Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump and Barron Trump standing above a row of coffins draped in American flags. Behind them, the White House is shown in the background beneath the slogan: “Blood for Blood.” View full Image View full Image A huge anti-US billboard featuring a burning White House with the US President and his family members in coffins, alongside text in Persian reading 'blood for blood' is displayed on the facade of a building in Tehran's Palestine Square on July 15, 2026.

The backdrop resembles memorial walls erected across Tehran following Khamenei's funeral, reinforcing the connection between the threats and calls for revenge. Graffiti calling for Trump's death Beyond the large billboards, graffiti carrying similar messages has appeared across public spaces. Several murals feature phrases such as "We Will Kill Trump" "Blood for Blood" "Death to America" "Death to Israel" Many of these slogans accompany images linked to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral and memorial ceremonies.
