Trump 'behind bars' in Teheran's latest anti-US propaganda stunt
TEHERAN: Anti-American propaganda is a common sight on the streets of the Iranian capital, but authorities have gone a step further with their latest effort – a life-size jail cell with an actor playing US President Donald Trump languishing inside.
TEHERAN: In a provocative move, Iranian authorities have installed a life-sized jail cell featuring an actor portraying US President Donald Trump, located in Tajrish Square of the city. The installation aims to depict Trump as a war criminal, a claim Iran has been making since the conflict began with American-Israeli strikes in February.
The actor, dressed in Trump's attire, stands inside the jail cell, clenching its bars or pacing around it. A screen nearby displays messages condemning US war crimes. While some locals have found the installation amusing, taking selfies and hurling insults at the Trump effigy, others express anger towards him, with one teenager shouting, "Trump, this time we're going to kill you!"
The authorities behind the campaign aim to remind residents of Iran's demands for justice, accusing Trump of targeting civilian sites, including a school and a wedding ceremony, killing numerous women and children. The installation, which operates day and night, seven days a week, is part of Iran's intensified propaganda efforts since the war's onset.
