This political cartoon depicts Iran's Ayatollah on the left and Donald Trump on the right. The Ayatollah says “Why stop? They’re domestic terrorists as he stands on the bloodied body of a dead protester holding a sign that reads “Stop tyranny.” Donald Trump also stands on the body of a dead protester with a “Stop tyranny” sign.

Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are on the roof of the White House. There’s a protest going on in the street below. People carry signs that read, “BLM”, “No Kings”, “Release the Epstein Files”, “Ban ICE”, “Doge Sucks” and “End hate!” Smoke in the sky spells out the words “Free Iran”. Miller, who is surrounded by bats, says to Trump, who holds a tear gas gun, “Nice tear gas shooting sir.”

This cartoon is titled Supreme Leaders. The Ayatollah sits cross-legged on a carpet on the left and Donald Trump on a carpet on the right. Both wear Ayatollah-style hats. They share a speech bubble as both say “We have the right to shoot domestic terrorists whose protests challenge the legitimacy of our regime.”
