Amid rising tensions between the US and Iran, Iranian authorities unveiled a provocative anti-US mural in Tehran's Enghelab Square on Sunday. The billboard depicts a damaged US aircraft carrier with disabled fighter jets and casualties, accompanied by the slogan "If you sow the wind, you will reap the whirlwind." This display coincides with the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group to the region, a move President Trump described as precautionary. The unveiling follows a warning from Iran's Revolutionary Guard commander that his forces are prepared for any action. Tensions have escalated following a crackdown on protests in Iran and threats of military action from President Trump if Iran continues to harm protesters.
