Graffiti Did Not Appear in Iran Thanking President Trump for an Assassination
President Trump started 2020 with the assassination of a top Iranian official, Qassem Soleimani, by drone. Far-right media tried to make it look like Iranians supported Trump’s illegal assassination, including with this image that went viral. While the message is translated fairly accurately as “Thank you Trump” the photo was taken years before the assassination and was likely being used as part of a disinformation campaign.
