A public installation has emerged in Tehran, in which an actor portrays US President Donald Trump as a prisoner behind bars throughout the day. This took place on October 24, 2026, and the performance attracted the attention of passersby. Spiegel.de ↗
The actor sits in a mock prison cell, which is placed next to a freestanding advertising billboard. Passersby photograph and film the scene with their mobile phones. The installation uses Trump's likeness as part of a public performance that has a political and propagandistic character.
The billboard also includes depictions of war crimes attributed to the American president. However, the information provided does not reveal who specifically commissioned or financed the installation, nor how long it is meant to remain on display. Der Standard ↗
The performance emerged at a time when fears of new bomb attacks persist in Tehran. Visitors are therefore paying attention not only to the provocative scene itself, but also to the security situation in the city. Further details about possible security measures or the reaction of the American government are not yet known. Tagesspiegel ↗
The installation thus combines a public theatrical performance with a political message directed against Washington. Its further fate, as well as any official reactions from Iran or the United States, remain unclear for now.
