埃里卡·所罗门（Erika Solomon）和萨纳米·马胡齐（Sanam Mahoozi）德黑兰在塔杰里什广场上方的一个假牢房里安置了一名特朗普模仿者，以此抗议美国对伊朗库赫斯塔克一场婚礼的致命空袭。
Erika Solomon and Sanam Mahoozi Tehran has put a Trump impersonator in a fake jail cell above Tajrish Square to protest a deadly US strike on an Iranian wedding in Kuhestak.
这一展示是德黑兰美化组织（Beautification Organization）为期15天的宣传活动的一部分，吸引了大量人群，与此同时，伊朗也在网上分享反特朗普的表情包和视频。
The display is part of a 15-day campaign by Tehran’s Beautification Organization and has drawn crowds, while Iran also shares anti-Trump memes and videos online.
分析人士表示，这场战争让伊朗的反美信息变得更加强烈，随着对特朗普的愤怒不断加剧，该政权展现出它“既不被吓倒，也不害怕对抗”美国。
Analysts say the war has made Iran’s anti-American messaging stronger, as anger at Trump grows and the regime shows it is “neither intimidated nor afraid to confront” the US.
人工智能生成 德黑兰——在伊朗最繁忙的广场之一上方，一个被固定在巨型广告牌上的笼子被设计成监狱牢房的模样。里面关着一名美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的模仿者。他摇晃着铁栏杆，在牢房的床上小憩，并模仿他著名的YMCA舞蹈。
AI generated TEHRAN - Mounted above one of Iran’s busiest squares and affixed to a billboard is a cage designed to look like a jail cell. Inside it is an impersonator of US President Donald Trump. He rattles the bars, naps on his cell bed and mimics his famed YMCA dance.
除了不看身后电子广告牌上闪烁的画面外，他什么都做——那些画面描绘了9月发生的一起致命的美国袭击，袭击目标是伊朗的一场婚礼。
He does anything, that is, but look at the images flashing on the electronic billboard behind him, which depict a deadly American attack that struck an Iranian wedding in September.
滚动播放的画面上写道：“看不到这一幕是一种罪行”，同时黄色的犯罪现场警戒线在屏幕上展开。
“Failure to see this scene is a crime,” one of the scrolling images says, as rolls of yellow crime scene tape unfurl across the screen.
这种带有宣传性质的行为艺术，是伊斯兰共和国在其长期利用首都德黑兰的巨型广告牌作为传达信息工具的历史中，最古怪的艺术品之一。
The piece of propagandistic performance art is one of the most eccentric in the Islamic Republic’s long history of using billboards around the capital, Tehran, as a messaging tool.
在美以两国于2月袭击伊朗之后，这些信息达到了前所未有的挑衅高度。
Those messages reached new heights of provocation after the United States and Israel attacked Iran in February.
例如，在今年夏天，德黑兰市中心的恩格拉卜广场（Enghelab Square）上的一块巨型广告牌展示了一幅特朗普躺在画满涂鸦的棺材里的图像。
Over the summer, for example, a billboard in Tehran’s central Enghelab Square showed an image of Trump lying in a graffitied coffin.
特朗普本人一直热衷于向伊朗传播充满政治色彩和不祥预兆的信息。他在社交媒体上发布的图像通常由人工智能生成，嘲笑伊朗的神职统治者，或者描绘他们被美国火力消灭的场景。
Trump has himself been an enthusiastic purveyor of politicised and ominous messaging to Iran. He has posted images on social media, usually generated using artificial intelligence, that mock Iran’s clerical rulers or depict their annihilation by American firepower.
在整场战争期间，伊朗政府及其支持者制作了喜剧表情包和在线视频，嘲讽美国总统及其袭击伊朗的决定。
Throughout the war, Iran’s government and its supporters have produced comedic memes and videos online that skewer the US President and his decision to attack Iran.
采用乐高风格的音乐视频嘲讽特朗普政府官员，这些视频经常在网络上疯传。分析人士表示，这些由一个名为“爆破媒体”（Explosive Media）的匿名内容创作者群体制做的视频，在国外往往比在国内引起更多关注。
Lego-styled music videos, mocking Trump administration officials, have frequently gone viral. Analysts said the videos, made by an anonymous group of content creators called “Explosive Media” often attracted more interest abroad than inside the country.
然而，伊斯兰共和国的最新噱头——利用一名戴着面具和假发的真人演员在纪念致命袭击的同时模仿特朗普——吸引了公众的注意，甚至包括那些经常从街头此类形象旁走过的伊朗人。
Yet the Islamic Republic’s latest gimmick – using a live actor in mask and wig to mimic Trump while marking a deadly attack – has grabbed public attention, even among Iranians who often walk right past such imagery on their streets.
尽管民众对该政权的看法存在严重分歧，特别是在1月对全国抗议活动进行残酷镇压之后，但对于这位美国领导人对伊朗发动毁灭性战争的行径，民众普遍感到愤怒。
Although the population is deeply divided in its feeling towards the regime, especially after a brutal crackdown on nationwide protests in January, there is widespread anger towards the US leader for launching a devastating war on Iran.
国际新闻机构发布的视频报道显示，这名戴着面具的演员在牢房里四处走动时向人群做手势，他的牢房里配有一张床、马桶和洗手盆。
International news agencies have published video reports showing the masked actor gesticulating to the crowd as he moves around his cell, which includes a bed, toilet and sink.
在过去几天里，许多人停下脚步，拍摄、大笑并按响喇叭，围观这个设立在首都较富裕地区标志性广场上方的奇观。
Over the past few days, many have stopped to film, laugh and honk horns at the spectacle, mounted above an iconic square in one of the capital’s more affluent districts.
塔杰里什广场是德黑兰一个熙熙攘攘的交通枢纽，因其集市而深受居民喜爱，小贩们在那里出售坚果、水果、服装和黄金。它并不是恩格拉卜广场那种典型的政治表态场所，恩格拉卜广场意为“革命广场”，经常是政治集会和巨型广告牌的所在地。
Tajrish Square, a bustling transportation hub in Tehran, is beloved among residents for its markets, where vendors sell nuts, fruits, clothing and gold. It is not a typical site for political statements, such as Enghelab Square, which means “Revolution Square” and is often the site of political gatherings and billboards.
据伊朗官方媒体报道，这场一直持续到深夜的特朗普表演秀是由隶属于德黑兰市政府的德黑兰美化组织于10月20日推出的。白宫没有立即回应就这块巨型广告牌置评的请求。
The Trump performance, which lasted into the night, was unveiled on Oct 20 by Tehran’s Beautification Organization, affiliated with the city’s municipality, according to Iranian state media. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the billboard.
这一装置似乎是该市最近宣布的为期15天宣传活动的一部分，旨在引起人们对9月伊朗南部城镇库赫斯塔克袭击事件的关注，当时至少有一枚美国炸弹击中了一场大型婚礼。
The installation appears to be part of a recently announced 15-day campaign in the capital intended to draw attention to the attack in the southern Iranian town of Kuhestak in September, in which at least one US bomb hit a large wedding.
美国中央司令部（负责协调美军在当地行动）在当时被问及此次袭击时表示，它已知悉有关伊朗新闻对此次袭击的报道，且美军不以平民为目标。
Asked about the attack at the time, US Central Command, which coordinates American forces in the region, said that it was aware of Iranian news reports about the strike and that it does not target civilians.
根据武器专家和《纽约时报》的视觉分析，婚礼是被一枚炸弹击中的，这枚炸弹是美军在伊朗南部展开猛烈空袭时投放的。
The wedding was struck by a bomb that, according to a weapons expert and a visual analysis by The New York Times, had been released by US forces as they carried out intense attacks in southern Iran.
总部设在华盛顿的研究集团DAWN的资深伊朗分析师奥米德·梅马里安（Omid Memarian）表示，多年来，伊斯兰共和国一直在努力让其反美宣传超越其强硬派核心基础产生共鸣。
For years, the Islamic Republic struggled to make its anti-American messaging resonate beyond its hardline base, said Omid Memarian, a senior Iran analyst at the Washington-based research group, DAWN.
他说：“这场战争改变了这种动态，”伊朗人经历了数天的轰炸，并听到特朗普威胁要把伊朗“送回石器时代”。
“The war has altered that dynamic,” he said, with Iranians suffering days of bombardment and hearing Trump threaten to send Iran “back to the Stone Age”.
梅马里安表示：“宣传机器重新获得了动能。传达的信息是，尽管美国具有压倒性的军事优势，但伊朗既不被吓倒，也不害怕与之对抗。”《纽约时报》本文最初发表于《纽约时报》。
“The propaganda apparatus has gained renewed momentum,” Memarian said. “The message is that, despite America’s overwhelming military superiority, Iran is neither intimidated nor afraid to confront it.”NYTIMES This article originally appeared in The New York Times.
