Overview
- Multiple large billboards and murals appeared in central Tehran in mid‑July showing President Trump and members of his family in coffins with slogans such as “We Kill Trump” and “Blood for Blood.”
- U.S. Central Command said American forces carried out a fresh wave of precision strikes on July 15 targeting Iranian command centers, air defenses, missile and drone sites, and coastal surveillance facilities.
- Iranian officials reported powerful explosions near civilian sites, including areas around Boghayi Hospital 2 in Ahvaz, and state media reported limited damage on Qeshm and other facilities.
- Several outlets and officials cited Israeli and U.S. intelligence warnings about an alleged Iranian plot to kill President Trump, and the public threats on Tehran billboards have amplified those concerns.
- Reporting ties the murals to state‑linked bodies and artists, including Tehran Municipality’s Beautification and Islamic Propagation organizations and Owj Arts and Media, and says the displays are meant to mobilize domestic grief over the death of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and justify retaliation.
