Giant banners showing coffins draped in US and 'Israeli' flags appeared in central Tehran with a warning: “Watch your soldiers”.
Iranian military places forces on high alert amid reports of increased US naval presence in the Gulf.

On Saturday morning, the streets of central Tehran were dominated by massive banners depicting coffins wrapped in US and 'Israeli' flags, accompanied by a direct warning: “Watch your soldiers.” The display marks one of the most visible public threats issued by Iran in recent months.

The campaign reflects rising tensions and a deliberate messaging strategy aimed at both domestic and international audiences, signaling Tehran’s readiness to confront perceived threats.

Military Warnings Escalate

Iranian Army Commander Amir Hatami issued a stern warning to the United States and ‘Israel’, emphasizing that any attack on Iranian territory would trigger immediate retaliation.

Hatami stated that the Iranian armed forces have entered a “high alert” status in response to reports of heavy US military reinforcements in the Gulf in recent hours. He added that all hostile movements are being closely monitored and any attempt to translate these deployments into military action would be met with swift and decisive response.

Regional Context

The banner campaign follows broader regional tensions, including a recent mysterious explosion in Bandar Abbas, which Iranian authorities denied involved the assassination of any Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officials.

Analysts say Iran is using visual propaganda in public spaces as a warning mechanism, signaling both internal strength and a deterrent message to US and 'Israeli' forces operating near Iranian waters.
