Along with the street art on the walls of the US Den of Espionage, this several-decades-old mural has to be one of the most photographed pieces of public propaganda art in Tehran. A Stars & Stripes flag runs down the side of a building, the stars a set of skulls, the stripes turning into bombs, across it burned the legend 'Down with the USA'.
