00:12A giant billboard. A U.S. president lying in a coffin. That's not a horror movie poster,
00:20that's Tehran, right now in Inqalaf Square, one of the most symbolic public spaces in Iran.
00:27And it's aimed directly at Donald Trump. The mural shows Trump lying inside a coffin-like
00:34structure, hands clasped over his chest, dressed in a suit with red accents. Around him, aggressive,
00:42graffiti-style messages, some in English, some in Persian, including the phrase,
00:48kill Trump. It's not subtle. It's not meant to be.
01:16And he's not alone. Nearby, a second poster shows Senator Lindsey Graham
01:21drawn with horns, standing on a gravestone. The epitaph reads,
01:26your dream of victory will be buried with you. So why now? Why here? Inqalaf Square,
01:34Revolution Square, has long been Iran's canvas for state-aligned political messaging,
01:40changing with the news cycle. This mural lands after a massive national moment,
01:45the funeral of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a U.S.-Israeli airstrike on February 28th,
01:53at the start of the war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran. His funeral was held from July 3rd
02:00to July 9th,
02:012026, drawing enormous crowds across Tehran, Qam, and into Iraq. And the crowds didn't just mourn.
02:09State media showed huge processions with chants of death to America and large red signs saying,
02:16kill Trump. This wasn't a one-off sign. A hardline Iranian newspaper openly called for Trump's beheading,
02:24and mourners marched carrying banners saying, we will kill Trump, there will be blood,
02:29and burned effigies while chanting death to America and death to Israel.
02:35Even Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu weighed in publicly, pointing out that mourners weren't
02:40just chanting, death to America, they were chanting, kill Trump, directly.
02:45Stones were reportedly thrown at billboards bearing Trump's face during the procession.
02:51This mural isn't really about art. It's about signaling, grief turned into public defiance,
02:57aimed at the two countries Iran blames for Khamenei's death.
03:01Encolab Square has done this before. Missile-flanked statues, bloodied warships,
03:07coffin imagery of American leaders. It's psychological theater, built for cameras as much as for crowds.
03:14A billboard, a coffin, a name in graffiti. It's a message the regime wants the whole world to see,
03:21and one U.S. and Israeli security services are watching very closely.
