Iranian state media poster features Trump and Netanyahu as 'dining with Satan'

TL;DR

Iran's semi-official 'Houza' news agency published posters depicting U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as dining with Satan alongside the killer of Imam Hussein, using explicitly Shiite religious imagery tied to the Battle of Karbala. The posters are titled 'The path to Ashura: From the feast of Satan to the revenge of Hussein.'

01 · THE DISPATCH

A poster published Thursday by Iran's 'Houza' news agency—a media outlet aligned with the country's leading religious seminary in Qom—depicts U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dining with a figure described as 'Satan' and the killer of Imam Hussein, the Prophet Muhammad's grandson. The poster carries the title 'The path to Ashura: From the feast of Satan to the revenge of Hussein' and is laden with Shiite religious iconography referencing the 7th-century Battle of Karbala, in which Imam Hussein was killed. The choice of imagery frames Trump and Netanyahu alongside a figure Shiites regard as the archetype of illegitimate rule.

As The Zioneer reported over recent weeks, Iran has intensified its psychological warfare through official and semi-official media. Earlier bulletins noted the publication of assassination lists naming Trump, Netanyahu, and other senior U.S. and Israeli officials, as well as propaganda videos and posters in Tehran invoking the same Karbala narrative. This latest poster is consistent with that campaign, merging current political figures with deep religious symbolism to frame the U.S.-Israeli alliance as aligned with tyranny against Shiite martyrdom.
