A giant state-backed billboard depicting US President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and the former's five children above coffins draped in the American flag has been unveiled in central Tehran, as Iran's increasingly confrontational messaging against Washington escalates amidst the conflict between the two countries.
Installed in Tehran's Palestine Square, the mural reportedly features Trump, Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump and Barron Trump above flag-covered coffins set against the backdrop of the White House, with the slogan "Blood for Blood" prominently displayed, The Telegraph reported.

The display is the latest in a series of anti-US murals that have appeared across the Iranian capital as tensions between Tehran and Washington continue to escalate. According to The Telegraph , the slogan is presented as a call for revenge following the US-Israeli strikes that killed Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several members of his family.
Iran's latest in a series of anti-Trump murals
The new installation comes just days after another massive billboard in Tehran's Enghelab Square depicted Trump lying inside an open black coffin beneath the words "We Kill Trump" in both Persian and English, according to The Telegraph. The mural portrayed the US president with his eyes and mouth closed, dishevelled hair and hands resting on a red tie.
The coffin also carried the inscription, "In memory of Minab's children," a reference to the southern Iranian city where an elementary school was struck on February 28.
