A large billboard of Donald Trump dead in a coffin with the words ‘we kill Trump’ has been revealed in Tehran as tensions skyrocket.
The large installation comes days after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s massive funeral, in which attendees chanted slogans about murdering the US President.
The billboard shows Trump, with his hair sticking up wildly and hands crossed upon his large belly, dead.
The installation is in Islamic Revolution Square, in the centre of Tehran.
Last week, Trump hinted at the fact that he may be killed by Iran, telling reporters: ‘Now they have another set of leaders. They may be gone. Who knows? And you know what? I may be gone too, because I’m their number one target.
‘It’s out all over the place. I’m their number one because they’re scum. That’s the way they act, and that’s the way they’ve done it for 47 years.’

In recent days, the US began launching new strikes and told Tehran to ‘behave’ after it began striking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
As talks stall over disagreements about the vital waterway, in which multiple cargo ships have been attacked by Iran this week, Trump has reimposed a blockade on the Strait.
Iran has also continued carrying out missile and drone strikes against US allies in the Middle East, including Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan.
Trump warned that more US strikes would cripple Iran, targeting bridges and power plants unless the country backs down.
