'Blood for blood': Iran unveils billboard showing Trump family above coffins
The display in central Tehran is the latest in a series of state-backed murals targeting the US president amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Iran has unveiled a giant billboard in central Tehran depicting US President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and their children standing above coffins draped in the American flag, accompanied by the slogan "Blood for blood", according to The Telegraph.
Installed in Tehran's Palestine Square, the mural shows the Trump family against the backdrop of the White House and is the latest in a series of state-backed displays directed at the US president as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to escalate.
According to the report, the slogan refers to Iran's vow to avenge US-Israeli strikes that killed Iran's late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several members of his family.

The billboard comes days after another large mural in Tehran's Enghelab Square depicted Trump lying in an open coffin beneath the words "We Kill Trump" in Persian and English.
The Telegraph reported that many of Tehran's large political murals are designed by the Owj Arts and Media Organisation, which is linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and are used to promote the government's anti-US and anti-Israel messaging.
The latest display coincides with continued US military strikes on Iranian targets and renewed threats of retaliation from Iranian officials. Trump has previously warned that any Iranian attempt to assassinate him would trigger a "severe and destructive" US response.
