“If You Sow the Wind, You Shall Reap the Storm”: “Burning Fighters” in Iran Threaten US with Retaliation

Iran is responding to US threats of military action with a provocative giant poster in Tehran, depicting a damaged American aircraft carrier and dead sailors. The message “If you sow the wind, you shall reap the storm” serves as a clear warning to the United States. The posting of the poster coincided with the movement of US warships, including the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, towards the region, in response to President Trump’s announcements of potential military response. Trump has threatened stronger action than previous strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Tensions between the US and Iran have escalated following the suppression of protests in Iran and the subsequent arrests and potential executions of protesters. Trump claimed that Iran had canceled mass executions, a claim denied by the Iranian prosecutor. The giant poster was placed in Engelab Square, a venue used for state gatherings and adapted to current political circumstances. Simultaneously, the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has warned of the readiness of his forces.
