Iran has unveiled a new propaganda installation in Tehran's Tajrish Square: a life-size jail cell suspended several stories high, containing an actor dressed as US President Donald Trump. The actor, wearing a prosthetic mask, paces inside the cell or clutches its bars. A nearby screen displays messages denouncing US 'war crimes.' The installation has drawn locals who take selfies and hurl abuse at the figure. One passerby jokingly offered to pay Trump's bail, while a teenager shouted death threats. Tehran's municipal authorities, who are behind the campaign, said they want to remind residents of Iran's demands for justice. Iran has portrayed Trump as a war criminal since the conflict began with US-Israeli strikes in February that killed the country's supreme leader. Tehran accuses Trump of deliberately targeting civilian sites, including a school and a wedding, killing dozens of women and children. The installation is designed to operate continuously, day and night. The article also includes a fundraising appeal from The Times of Israel for its multimedia journalism.
