A Donald Trump lookalike has been put “behind bars” in the middle of Tehran as an unusual public installation turns Iran’s confrontation with the United States into political street theatre. Footage from Tajrish Square shows a performer wearing a Trump mask, dark suit and red tie pacing inside a giant mock prison cell incorporated into a billboard. A Persian slogan across the installation reads: “It is a crime not to see this scene.” Organisers say the performance is intended to continue around the clock. Some Tehran residents expressed strong hostility towards the US president. One said Trump “makes me sick,” while another said she believed imprisonment represented “the fate that awaits him.” The spectacle comes amid continuing US-Iran tensions following military confrontation and instability around the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, with diplomatic efforts yet to produce a lasting settlement.
