Fake Donald Trump locked in a cell in Tehran

The Tehran municipality installed a dummy cell containing a man wearing a Donald Trump mask to denounce US military operations. The installation, displayed in Tajrish Square, is to remain visible day and night, according to Iranian authorities-linked media cited by Eanlibya.

The Tehran municipality installed a dummy cell this week in Tajrish Square, where a man wearing a mask of Donald Trump is being portrayed. The installation is part of a communications campaign against the United States, reports Eanlibya.

A screen nearby broadcasts messages denouncing what Iran describes as American “war crimes”. The municipality says it wants to recall the need to deliver justice. Passers-by stopped to take photographs and joke with the man playing the role of the US president.

The display notably denounces a US air strike on a wedding in early September that allegedly killed four people and injured 70, according to M6 Info. It comes as tensions between Washington and Tehran intensify.
