Tehran Design Group Creates Anti-US Billboards Featuring President Trump

A Tehran-based design collective known as Khaneh-ye Tarrahan is responsible for large-scale billboards in Iran that depict anti-American imagery. These displays, often featuring President Donald Trump, serve as a visual representation of current tensions between Iran and the United States.

In the heart of Tehran, particularly at the prominent Valiasr Square, large billboards have become a focal point for political messaging regarding the ongoing geopolitical friction between Iran and the United States. These displays are produced by a group called Khaneh-ye Tarrahan, or 'Designers’ House,' which specializes in creating public art that reflects the Iranian government's stance on international relations.

The imagery utilized by the group is explicitly critical of U.S. foreign policy. Recent installations have included depictions of American drones being crushed under the boot of an Iranian soldier and a notable mural showing President Donald Trump with his lips sewn shut. These billboards are intended to be seen by large crowds of daily commuters, serving as a constant visual narrative of the country's opposition to U.S. and Israeli influence in the region.

While the billboards are presented as a chronicle of the current 'war' of rhetoric between the two nations, the group’s work is closely tied to the public messaging strategies of the Iranian state. The reports indicate that these displays are strategically placed in high-traffic areas to maximize visibility and reinforce a specific nationalist sentiment among the local population. The artistic output of Khaneh-ye Tarrahan acts as a public-facing extension of the diplomatic and military tensions currently defining the relationship between Tehran and Washington.
