Tehran’s Palestine Square Hosts Mural by Australian Artist

TEHRAN -- In a striking gesture of solidarity, a new mural has been unveiled in Tehran’s Palestine Square, boldly echoing the anguish and resistance of the Palestinian people. 
The artwork—a reproduction of an anti-Israel painting by Australian artist Scott Marsh—was originally painted on a wall in Spain. 
Now, repurposed and reimagined, it adorns one of Tehran’s most symbolic public spaces, weaving together global protest and local empathy.
This mural emerges amid escalating violence in Gaza, where the humanitarian crisis has deepened dramatically. Israeli military actions continue unabated, with recent reports revealing the use of starvation tactics against civilians—an abhorrent strategy that has intensified international condemnation.  
The Tehran mural, with its vivid imagery and charged symbolism, declares an unyielding Iranian solidarity with oppressed peoples worldwide, particularly Palestinians.  
By transplanting Marsh’s work from a European wall to the heart of Tehran, the mural invites viewers to witness the shared human cost of conflict.
