A massive billboard erected in the heart of Tehran depicting President Donald Trump lying in a coffin has heightened alarm over Iran’s increasingly aggressive public threats against American leaders. The display, prominently placed in the capital’s Islamic Revolution Square, comes as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to intensify.

The billboard follows funeral events held for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, where crowds were heard openly calling for the deaths of President Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the late Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Prominently featured on the new display is the English-language message “We Kill Trump,” accompanied by imagery portraying the American president inside a coffin. The message has been widely viewed as an unmistakable threat directed at Trump.

The latest display reflects years of hostility between the Iranian regime and the United States, a conflict that intensified dramatically after the 2020 American drone strike that eliminated Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.

Since Soleimani’s death, Iranian leaders have repeatedly pledged retaliation, with senior officials and state-affiliated figures publicly vowing revenge that includes killing President Trump.

For several years, U.S. intelligence agencies have warned that Iran has actively pursued assassination plots targeting Trump as well as other former senior officials from his administration.

Although Trump has remained the primary focus of those threats, he has not been the only target identified by American authorities.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former National Security Adviser John Bolton have likewise been named by U.S. officials as individuals targeted in Iranian assassination schemes.

In a previous case, the Justice Department filed charges against individuals allegedly connected to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps over what prosecutors described as a plot to murder Bolton.

According to federal prosecutors, the alleged conspiracy involved offers totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars to carry out the assassination, highlighting what U.S. officials characterized as an organized and ongoing Iranian campaign.

Bolton has publicly confirmed that he has been the subject of repeated threats and has received U.S. government security protection as a result.

Pompeo was also provided with government security after intelligence assessments concluded that credible threats against him existed.

More recently, War Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed during a Pentagon briefing that U.S. forces had conducted a targeted operation against a senior member of an Iranian unit allegedly responsible for coordinating assassination plots against President Trump and other current and former American officials.

While few operational details have been made public, Hegseth described the individual as a “key operative” who played a central role in organizing attacks outside Iran, including assassination plans targeting the president and former U.S. leaders.

The latest developments unfold against the backdrop of already soaring tensions between the United States and Iran, fueled by months of military confrontations, cyber operations, and continued disputes over security and freedom of navigation in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
