Event Summary

Following the death of US Senator Lindsey Graham on July 11, 2026, a billboard in Tehran's Valiasr Square, controlled by the IRGC-linked Owj Arts and Media Organization, displays the slogan 'Who is D nexT one?' with capitalized 'D' and 'T' alluding to President Donald Trump. This is part of a broader wave of threats against Trump and US officials since the funeral of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Other displays include a poster of Trump in a coffin, coffins with Trump family members, and a Iran — Fars News Agency video showing Trump's motorcade route. Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned of 'unforgettable lessons' if US attacks continue. The threats follow US and Israeli strikes that killed 52 Iranian officials and the 2025 Iran-Israel war. While no direct responsibility is claimed, the campaign escalates rhetoric amid ongoing tensions.
