'We will kill Trump': Iranian rally poster threatens US President
A poster advertising a rally in Tehran on Wednesday to mark the anniversary of the 1979 seizure of the US embassy openly threatened President Donald Trump, displaying the words “We will kill Trump" in both Persian and English. According to Iran International , the poster showed Trump alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Vice President JD Vance, and US envoy Steve Witkoff, all depicted wearing torn, burning suits. American and Israeli flags appeared in flames behind them.
The rally has been scheduled for 8:00 p.m. Wednesday at Tehran's Enghelab Square, where participants are expected to burn images of individuals described on the poster as “American criminals." The threat follows several similar incidents in recent months targeting Trump and members of his family. In July, the Tasnim news agency, which is affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), released a video claiming that vulnerabilities and access routes involving first lady Melania Trump's security arrangements in New York had been identified.
That same month, a billboard in Tehran's Islamic Revolution Square depicted Trump apparently dead in a coffin, accompanied by the message “We will kill Trump." In August, Iranian state television broadcast a video threatening the President's 20-year-old son, Barron Trump. The video, titled “Where and How Barron Trump Should Be Killed," claimed that his movements had been “fully monitored" and that information had been gathered about his university, accompanying vehicles, and the positions of Secret Service agents assigned to protect him.
It also alleged that a $10 million bounty had been placed on Barron Trump, although the claim was not independently verified. The US Secret Service subsequently confirmed that it was aware of the broadcast and was examining its contents. Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei later denied the claims that an assassination plot against Barron Trump existed. Iranian officials have repeatedly threatened retaliation against Trump over the US drone strike during his first term that eliminated Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the IRGC's Quds Force.
Left out here: Drops what it reported before
The article never says that the United States fought a war against Iran in recent months, or that talks to prevent renewed fighting are under way. The outlet reported both a day earlier. It gives the 2020 Soleimani killing as the only grievance and ends on Trump's warning. A reader believes the poster and the threats arise from one old killing, with no recent US attacks on Iran and no diplomacy in progress.
