Trump and family depicted in coffins on Iran billboard
TEHRAN, IRAN: A disturbing billboard depicting President Donald Trump and members of his family in coffins has appeared in Tehran as tensions between the United States and Iran continue to escalate.
The display surfaced this week as the US expanded its military campaign against Iran, targeting bridges, infrastructure and control facilities across the country.

Trump and family appear in coffins on Iran's 'Blood for Blood' billboard
The billboard shows Trump and several members of his family positioned above coffins draped in the American flag. Across the display is the slogan 'Blood for Blood.'
Another sign reportedly erected in Tehran takes the imagery even further, showing Trump lying inside a coffin beneath the message 'We kill Trump,' written in both English and Persian.
The displays have emerged against the backdrop of increasingly hostile rhetoric from Iran, which has repeatedly threatened retaliation against Trump.
The latest imagery follows reports of a so-called "revenge hit list" published last week.
According to reports, Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared at the top of the list, with sniper targets placed over their faces.
Other world leaders, including UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, were also reportedly included.
The threats also came after reports that Israeli intelligence uncovered what was described as a new Iranian plot targeting the US president.
Donald Trump vows further action as US strikes on Iran intensify
The billboard appeared as US military operations against Iran entered a sixth consecutive night.
President Trump had recently warned that his administration would target critical Iranian infrastructure if Tehran refused to negotiate.
"Next week it gets really bad for them. We're going to knock out all their power plants," Trump said during an interview with Fox News' 'Special Report with Bret Baier.'
"We're going to knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate," he added.
According to reports, US forces later struck at least two bridges in southern Iran and destroyed a tower at Chabahar port on the Gulf of Oman.
The attacks are believed to be aimed at disrupting transportation links connected to Bandar Abbas, one of Iran's key ports.
US Central Command said dozens of targets were hit during the latest round of military operations, which concluded at dawn on Friday.
"We are winning big in Iran, and you will see the fruits of that labour very, very shortly," he said.
Iran-US conflict escalates despite ceasefire agreement
Any hopes that the mid-June ceasefire memorandum would hold now appear increasingly distant as both sides continue exchanging attacks.
Iran reportedly launched fresh missile strikes against several Gulf nations, including mediator Qatar.

Meanwhile, a tanker moving through the Strait of Hormuz was also reportedly attacked, further raising concerns about regional stability.
The strategic waterway remains a key point of tension, with Trump previously accusing Tehran of maintaining a chokehold over shipping traffic in the region.
The growing conflict has also triggered security concerns outside the Middle East.
In the United Kingdom, Vahid Aberi, 39, of Liverpool, was charged after an investigation into alleged activity linked to foreign intelligence services connected to Iran.
Head of Counter Terrorism Policing London Helen Flanagan said authorities had seen a notable increase in national security investigations in recent years.
"This case is yet another example of where we've intervened to disrupt suspected activity linked to foreign intelligence services," she said.
While declining to discuss the allegations in detail, Flanagan sought to reassure the public.
"We have not identified any direct threat to them nor any threat towards a community or individual in connection with this investigation," she added.
