A provocative billboard erected in the center of Iran’s capital appears to suggest that President Donald Trump could be the next target of the Islamic Republic following the death of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham.
The display in Tehran’s Valiasr Square reads, “Who is D nexT one?” and includes the hashtag #LindseyGraham. The unusual capitalization of the letters “D” and “T” has been widely interpreted as a reference to Trump’s initials, although the billboard does not explicitly name the president.
Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency said the billboard was installed after Graham’s death and described the South Carolina Republican as one of the most outspoken anti-Iran lawmakers in Washington. The display is controlled by the Owj Arts and Media Organization, an entity linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that regularly promotes messages aligned with the country’s hardline establishment.

While the billboard does not claim Iranian involvement in Graham’s death, its wording appears intended to warn other opponents of the Islamic Republic that they could meet a similar fate.
Graham died July 11 at age 71. His office initially described his death as the result of a “brief and sudden illness.” Preliminary findings from a medical examiner later determined that Graham suffered an aortic dissection related to the hardening of his arteries. Authorities have disclosed no evidence that his death involved criminal activity or foreign interference.
The senator had become an increasingly prominent supporter of Iranian opposition groups during the final months of his life. At a gathering in Munich, Graham called for a “free Iran” and said he stood with “the Iranian people over the murderous ayatollah” while holding Iran’s pre-revolutionary Lion and Sun flag, according to reports.
Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last shah, remembered Graham as a “steadfast friend of the Iranian people.” Pahlavi said the senator’s support for what he called the “Lion and Sun Revolution” had earned Graham the nickname “Uncle Lindsey” among some Iranians.
The billboard follows a series of public threats against Trump and other American figures during a period of heightened confrontation between Washington and Tehran.
During the funeral procession for former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, mourners carried placards showing Trump, Graham, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro and activist Laura Loomer with red crosshairs over their faces. The signs warned, “Sooner or later, your heads will roll.”
Other placards displayed the faces of Miriam Adelson, Foundation for Defense of Democracies chief Mark Dubowitz and investor Peter Thiel. Participants also carried a banner advertising a reported $100 million bounty on Trump and chanted in support of killing the president.
A separate Tehran mural depicted Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu submerged in a red “sea of revenge.” The accompanying message declared, “You will drown in the sea of the Iranian nation’s revenge,” according to Iran’s IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency.
Hassan Rahimpour Azghadi, a member of Iran’s Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, has also called for attacks against American leaders and urged Tehran to disregard international agreements in response to what he described as “ongoing assassinations and expanding sanctions.”
Iranian officials have repeatedly promised retaliation since the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani. Those threats intensified during the 2025 Iran-Israel conflict and following subsequent U.S. and Israeli operations against senior Iranian military, intelligence and government figures. In May, New Conservative Post reported that an IRGC-linked militant had devised a plot to kill the president’s daughter, Ivanka.
