TEHRAN, IRAN: A new series of disturbing billboards has appeared across Tehran, featuring graphic images designed to look like members of the first family lying dead in pools of blood.

The displays, plastered with the word "KILLED" in bold red letters, are the latest in a string of increasingly provocative anti-US messages surfacing in Iran as tensions with Washington continue to spiral after the collapse of recent peace efforts.



Graphic displays target Trump's family

The billboards, installed above a busy highway in the Iranian capital on Tuesday, July 21, depict First Lady Melania Trump, Barron Trump, and Ivanka Trump with their eyes closed and blood covering their bodies.

The word "KILLED" is printed prominently across each image, while another message reads, "Get ready to die."

The display marks another escalation in the campaign of threatening imagery directed at President Donald Trump and those closest to him.

The billboards emerged amid worsening hostility between the United States and Iran following the breakdown of Pakistan-mediated negotiations tied to the Israel-Iran conflict.

Many of the large-scale murals are reported to have been created by the Owj Arts and Media Organization, a cultural group linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Iran's threats against Trump intensify

The latest display follows several similar installations unveiled across Iran in recent days.

Last week, another massive billboard showed Trump, Melania and all five of their children standing above coffins draped in American flags outside an illustration of the White House.



Accompanying the image was the slogan "Blood for Blood," presented as a warning tied to US-Israeli military strikes that killed Iran's former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several members of his family.

Another installation displayed what appeared to be Trump's lifeless body, accompanied by the message "We Kill Trump" in both English and Persian.



Separate murals have also placed Trump's face inside a sniper's crosshairs, while another has referenced the recent death of Senator Lindsey Graham with the words "Who is D nexT one?" highlighting Trump's initials in the phrase.



Their appearance comes as threats against Trump have become increasingly public during the continuing regional confrontation between Iran and the United States.
