Iran Displays 'Blood for Blood' Billboard Featuring Trump and Family Amid Rising Tensions
Iran has unveiled a large billboard in central Tehran depicting US President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and their five children standing above coffins draped in the American flag, with a burning White House in the background and the Persian slogan "Blood for Blood."

The murals are part of Iran's broader visual messaging strategy linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, signaling calls for retaliation.
