A Tehran billboard displayed an image of a dead President Donald Trump as Iran ramps up its death threats against the American president, after the collapse of the deal and ceasefire between the two countries.

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. Mourners began renewed threats against Trump during the funeral of former Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, and officials have repeatedly invoked pledges of revenge against the president. These threats got a new visual boost when Tehran debuted a propaganda billboard showing Trump’s corpse lying in a coffin.
