A Trump impersonator rattles the bars of a mock jail cell and takes a nap inside a Tehran billboard targeting the US over a deadly strike on an Iranian wedding
It appears to be part of a 15-day campaign highlighting the wedding strike. A life-sized impersonator of US President Donald Trump has been put inside a jail-like cage mounted on a billboard in Tehran, where he can be seen rattling the bars and taking a nap in a staged display targeting Washington over a deadly strike on an Iranian wedding. An electronic billboard behind the cage displays images related to a US strike that hit a wedding in the southern Iranian town of Kuhestak last month. The display also features crime-scene imagery, linking the attack to its message against the US president.
The installation was unveiled on Tuesday by Tehran’s Beautification Organization, which is affiliated with the city’s municipality, according to Iranian state media.
US Central Command had said it was aware of Iranian reports about the incident and that American forces do not target civilians. Iranian authorities and supporters have also circulated online memes and videos mocking Trump and his administration during the conflict. The wedding strike has become a focus of the latest campaign. A visual analysis by The New York Times, along with an assessment by a weapons expert, indicated that an American bomb struck the wedding as US forces carried out attacks in southern Iran.
