A giant billboard threatening to kill US President Donald Trump was unveiled in Iran's capital, Tehran, coinciding with intensive diplomatic efforts to bridge positions between Iran and the United States and prevent a resurgence of war.

The billboard, placed in Enghelab Square, bore the phrase "We will kill Trump" and depicted the US president behind bars with his head bowed.

Another billboard showed Trump alongside Vice President JD Vance, envoy Steve Witkoff, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with blood-stained faces and tattered clothes, backed by worn-out American and Israeli flags.

Dozens gathered in the square, waving red flags and holding signs reading "There will be blood," calling for revenge for the killing of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the first US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28.

In Tajrish Square in northern Tehran, other cartoons mocking Trump were displayed, including one showing his face covered in blood and a foot stepping on his head, and another where a bomb obscures his face.

As part of a propaganda campaign that began in late October, a model of a prison cell featuring an actor portraying Trump continued to be displayed, while an adjacent screen showed scenes of destruction caused by US strikes.

This campaign comes as mediation efforts between Tehran and Washington continue, amid fears of renewed military operations and their expanding regional repercussions.

Trump had indicated the possibility of reaching an agreement with Iran, coinciding with the US midterm elections held on Tuesday amidst voter dissatisfaction with the consequences of war and rising prices.

Tehran accuses the United States of deliberately targeting civilian sites during the war, including a school and a wedding, which, according to Iranian allegations, resulted in the deaths of dozens, including women and children.

State-sponsored billboards and murals have been used in Iran since 1979 to convey political messages, honor military figures and allies, and attack adversaries, particularly the United States and Israel.
