A composite image divided into two main sections. On the left, a cutout of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu shaking hands is layered over a background showing a poster of Netanyahu being burned. In the burning poster, text is partially visible, including the word “TERRORIST.“ On the right, a large Iranian flag flies prominently on a flagpole overlooking a dense, hazy urban cityscape with light-colored buildings stretching toward distant mountains. The two sides of the image are stylistically distinct, contrasting the political alliance of the leaders with the regional opposition and the landscape of Iran.
