On November 3, 2026, Iran unveiled a massive billboard in Tehran's Enghelab Square threatening to kill U.S. President Donald Trump. The billboard depicted Trump behind bars with his head bowed and carried the message: “We will kill Trump.” Another nearby billboard showed Trump, along with U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with bloodied faces against worn-out flags of Israel and the United States. The threats came as part of protests where dozens gathered waving red flags and carrying banners reading: “There will be blood,” in response to the alleged U.S.-Israeli attacks that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28, triggering a Middle East war. New billboards mocking Trump and boasting Iranian victory have frequently appeared around Tehran amid renewed diplomatic efforts to ease tensions between Iran and the United States.

🔮 Democrats seized control of the US Congress on Wednesday, capturing the Senate and House of Representatives in a stunning, nationwide rejection of Donald Trump set to put the brakes on the final two years of his presidency.
🔮 Israeli electoral authorities on Wednesday rejected allegations promoted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of fraud by Arab parties, who could hold the key to removing him from power after a divisive vote.
