I’m not an expert on the language, and I barely remember arabic scripts and alphabets, but I’m fairly certain the direct translation here isn’t even the common mistake of ‘down with/death to’. I think it’s the unambiguous ‘kill’. As in its saying literally “We will make Trump killed.”
I’d love if someone who knows Farsi can confirm or refute my guess.
Quick FYI: Iran is not part of the Arabic world and their language is unrelated. An Iranian friend once told me he would rather learn French than Arabic, as it would be easier for him.
The Iranians have been at odds with their Arabic neighbors for a long time and have much closer links with the people of Afghanistan, for instance. Not that that would be enlightening to most people but I thought I would mention it because many people lump Iran together with “the Arabs” since it is still part of the Middle East.
They never said it was Arabic or related to Arabic. They said Farsi, which it is, and Arabic scripts, which Farsi uses.
They’re completely different language families, but they use the Arabic alphabet. Kinda like how Finnic, Germanic, Romance, and Celtic languages all use the roman alphabet though being unrelated to each other.
Yes, though I stated ‘arabic script and alphabet’ as that’s the text style used. There are some different letters used but it’s based in the same alphabet system. Like how most European languages are based in the Roman alphabet. The English wouldn’t consider their language ‘Roman’.
That’s cool. I’m not saying you did, just wanted to point out that there’s a big difference besides the letters. I think FWIW might have worked better for that than the FYI I used. Hope that clears up any confusion.

It’s an exact translation of the Persian. “Ma Trump ra khahim kosht” = “we are going to kill Trump”
Thanks for that!
