VARIOUS OF BANNER DISPLAYING AT INTERSECTION WITH PHOTO OF HANDS WRAPPED AROUND NECK OF US PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND WARITINGS IN ENGLISH AND ARABICTEHRAN, IRAN - JULY 28, 2026: A massive billboard targeting US President Donald Trump was installed at a major central intersection in the Iranian capital on Tuesday, July 28. The display, unveiled at the intersection of Jomhuri Street and Valiasr Street, depicts hands wrapped around Trump's neck. State-backed billboards and murals are frequently displayed across major thoroughfares in central Tehran to reflect official government messaging and ideological stances amid heightened geopolitical tensions between Iran and the U.S. A cautious calm has prevailed in the region since Friday after the US and Iran halted attacks following a 13-day escalation that began July 11. During the escalation, the US carried out strikes inside Iran, while Tehran responded by targeting what it described as US military facilities and equipment in several Arab countries. The hostilities erupted despite a memorandum of understanding signed by Washington and Tehran in June calling for an end to the fighting and the start of negotiations on a broader agreement to conclude the war launched by Israel and the US on Feb. 28. President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire over on July 8 after tankers were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, incidents Washington blamed on Tehran. Washington has demanded that Iran halt attacks on vessels and guarantee freedom of navigation through the strait. Tehran, however, insists that ship traffic through waters adjacent to its coastline be governed by a mechanism under its supervision.
