Exclusive photos and video obtained by Our News Outlet show a huge custom-made banner looming over Tajrish Square in Tehran, the Iranian capital, after it was put up late last week.
The striking display features a detailed caricature of Trump, with his likeness plainly identifiable, positioned beneath a large blood-red painted “bullseye” scope.
Under the image of the targeted President, bold crimson capital letters in English deliver the ominous message: “There will be blood.”
The highly visible public installation, viewed as state-sanctioned propaganda, has unsettled residents in the area and prompted serious concern.
In messages shared with Our News Outlet, Iranians described the Tehran banner as a disturbing and notable escalation, even for a regime long associated with “Death to America” slogans.
“They never do this,” one worried resident told Our News Outlet, referring to such an explicit visual threat against a President displayed openly in one of the city’s busiest public spaces.
“They rarely put up banners like this, but at night during events in this same square, they often make verbal threats against him… They [the people] are very angry about what the regime has turned this place into. They have disrupted everyday city life with all this loud and unpleasant noise.”
The exact intent behind the English-language warning “There will be blood” has quickly become a source of speculation, alarm and debate.
Observers are debating whether it is a defiant vow that the blood of Iranian figures the US administration killed will never be forgotten and will be avenged, or a bold claim that the regime is not afraid of conflict.

In leaked messages sent to Our News Outlet, Iranians described the banner as a significant and frightening escalation, even for a regime famous for its ‘Death to America’ rhetoric
Ominous ‘Kill Trump’ signs – written in both English and Farsi – have also been erected across the capital, a stark reminder of the regime’s ongoing anger and isolation on the world stage
Regardless of the exact nuance, locals say the intent is unmistakably hostile, particularly given the precise positioning of the crosshairs.
Ominous ‘Kill Trump’ signs – written in both English and Farsi – have also been erected across the capital during the height of the war with Iran.
Back in late July, an AI-generated propaganda video released by Iran’s IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency has directly targeted First Lady Melania Trump and her son Barron, weaponizing her penchant for high-end Manhattan shopping.
Highlighting luxury Fifth Avenue hot spots like Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue, the threat details Secret Service security preparations, while inciting ‘freedom fighters’ to execute plots ranging from bribery to poisoning.
This propaganda campaign, which includes images of Melania, Barron and Ivanka Trump with their eyes edited shut and labeled ‘killed,’ marks just one of the latest threats from the Iranian regime that has actively pursued assassination attempts against the Trump family, including a murder-for-hire plot previously charged by the Justice Department.
Meanwhile, Ayatollah Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba, his father’s successor, has vanished from sightt sparking a wave of rumors across the country.
Following the February US-Israeli airstrikes that assassinated his father, Iran’s Assembly of Experts swiftly fast-tracked his hardline son, Mojtaba, as the country’s third Supreme Leader to project immediate stability.
While the official regime narrative insists he is operating from deep underground due to extreme security protocols, intense internal rumors suggest he was severely disfigured or injured in the initial blast that killed his family

If Mojtaba is in fact dead, the country is legally run by a fragile, ideologically divided three-man council that includes the President, the Chief Justice and Senior Cleric.
This would eventually result in elections for a new Supreme Leader, sparking a massive crisis of legitimacy and first break in the Khamenei bloodline.
Several Iranian sources stressed that no-one has seen or heard from the late Supreme Leader’s son in months.
Meantime, Trump said the United States is shifting toward a ‘low-key’ approach in its conflict with Iran, signaling a turn away from direct military strikes to focus on economic containment and naval pressure.
Speaking Sunday, Trump pointed to Iran’s soaring inflation and liquid cash shortages, asserting that Tehran is struggling to pay its armed forces – a financial strain exacerbated by an ongoing US naval blockade.
‘We are low-keying it. We are only semi-negotiating with them,’ Trump told Axios, describing the strategy as a strategic ‘chess game.’
The administration’s stance comes as diplomatic efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz remain stalled.
A prospective agreement brokered by Oman to restore partial commercial traffic through the vital shipping lane fell apart Saturday after Tehran issued a list of demands.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council declared the waterway will remain closed to ships linked to ‘hostile countries’ until Washington halts hostilities, lifts its naval blockade, completely compensates Iran for war damage, and unconditionally releases frozen assets.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed Sunday that no direct negotiations are currently taking place between Washington and Tehran.
A 60-day window to negotiate a broader settlement is set to expire in just over a week, though officials indicate the timeline may be extended.
The standoff with Iran coincides with broader friction across the region.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently dismissed a US-backed peace framework for Gaza, emphasizing that Israeli military forces will not withdraw until Hamas is fully disarmed.
With direct talks on hold and key maritime routes restricted, Washington appears content to rely on prolonged fiscal pressure to force concessions from Tehran.
