A poster distributed ahead of a rally planned for Wednesday in Tehran explicitly threatens to assassinate U.S. President Donald Trump. The poster, which includes the phrase "We will kill Trump" in Persian and English, was released in commemoration of the anniversary of the 1979 U.S. Embassy takeover in Iran. According to Iran International, the poster depicts Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, and U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff in burning, tattered suits, with the U.S. and Israeli flags ablaze behind them.
This latest threat follows a series of similar warnings issued by Iran in recent months against the U.S. president and his family. In July, the Tasnim news agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, released a video claiming to have identified security vulnerabilities concerning First Lady Melania Trump in New York, including potential access points. That same month, a billboard in Tehran's Islamic Revolution Square showed Trump lifeless in a coffin with the caption "We will kill Trump."
In August, Iranian state television aired a video threatening the life of Barron Trump, the president's 20-year-old son, titled "Where and how to kill Barron Trump." The broadcast claimed Barron's movements were under "full surveillance," with information gathered on his school, escort vehicles, and Secret Service protection details. The video also alleged a $10 million bounty for Barron Trump's assassination, though this claim could not be independently verified. The U.S. Secret Service acknowledged awareness of the broadcast and stated they were reviewing its content.
Mohsen Rezai, a senior Iranian security official, later denied reports of a plot to assassinate the president's son. These threats are reportedly linked to repeated declarations by Iranian officials vowing revenge against Trump for the U.S. drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force, during Trump's first term. Trump has previously warned that any Iranian attempt on his life would be met with a devastating U.S. response.
