Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 15, 2026 —
A satirical statue, dubbed the “Iran War Participation Trophy,” has been erected on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., taking aim at President Donald Trump.
The artwork is the creation of an anonymous artist collective known as Secret Handshake. Its appearance on the National Mall coincides with ongoing congressional opposition to President Trump’s decision to end the cease-fire agreement with Iran, a move that has led to the recent resumption of hostilities.
The “trophy” is intended to mock President Trump’s perceived involvement in the renewed conflict. This installation marks the latest in a series of protest artworks that have been displayed in the nation’s capital, many of which have specifically targeted President Trump.
Details regarding the duration of the installation or any official response from authorities were not immediately available.
