Challenge to America:

Iran, through these posters, is sending a direct message to the United States that it is not afraid of any pressure or threats. Iran says that it will not bow down to anyone’s pressure, and if any country attacks it, Iran will respond with a strong and massive retaliation. At the same time, there is still no confirmation about the second round of talks, and it remains unclear when and how the discussions will take place.

Support for the Government:

Posters put up in Iran indicate that the Iranian people stand with their government and support their system. Especially during times of conflict or crisis, such posters help create a sense of national unity and strength among the public.
