Another display nearby shows Mr Trump alongside US Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The four men are depicted with bloodied faces and damaged clothing against a background of torn US and Israeli flags.

Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT One depicts Mr Trump lying on the ground with his face bloodied as a foot presses down on his head. Another shows a bomb covering his face in an apparent reference to Belgian artist René Magritte's famous painting The Son of Man. A life-size mock prison cell has also been installed in the square, with an actor impersonating Mr Trump spending time behind its bars.

The actor wears a dark suit and red tie along with a mask designed to resemble the US President. A screen next to the installation shows images of damage caused by US strikes on Iran. Tehran's municipal authorities, which are behind the prison campaign, have said it is intended to highlight Iranian demands for justice. Iran has accused the US of deliberately attacking civilian sites during the conflict, including a school and a wedding ceremony, and killing civilians.

Anti-American billboards and murals have long been displayed in Iran, with political artwork becoming a prominent feature of public spaces following the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution.

What we found (1)

The Daily Express reports a Tehran banner reading "We will kill Trump" and sets it against diplomatic efforts to prevent renewed fighting. The article never mentions the US strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island, which the outlet itself reported hours earlier. This is a minor gap in background.

  1. Drops what it reported before

    Minor

    “diplomatic efforts continue in an attempt to bring Washington and Tehran to negotiations and prevent renewed fighting”

    Why this matters
    The words "prevent renewed fighting" set the banner against a backdrop of diplomacy, as if fighting has stopped and the only risk is that it might start again.
    The impression it gives
    The reader believes the mural appears during a pause in hostilities, with Iran escalating its rhetoric while Washington pursues talks.
    The context
    The Daily Express reported the same morning that the US had launched fresh strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island the night before, hours before the banner was unveiled. The article never mentions these strikes, so the reader does not learn that the display followed a new US attack on Iran.
