00:56The exact timing and location of the video have not been independently verified,
01:02and details remain based on user-generated social media posts.
01:07Such large public billboards are commonly displayed in central areas of Tehran
01:13as part of state-linked political messaging.
01:16These often highlight anti-U.S. and anti-Israel themes,
01:20especially during periods of heightened regional tension.
01:25In recent years, similar displays have included slogans and imagery
01:29targeting U.S. political leaders and policies,
