Donald Trump boxes an Iran bop bag Supreme Leader who refuses to stay down amid ongoing Middle East conflict.
Daryl Cagle, CagleCartoons.com
The cartoon shows Donald Trump, shirtless and wearing boxing gloves, repeatedly striking a large bop bag shaped like an Iranian cleric. Multiple faces of bearded men in turbans appear on the bag, which rebounds after each punch. A speech bubble captures Trump's frustrated commands for the figure to stay down. The image responds to reports of a new Iranian supreme leader and U.S. efforts against the regime in early 2026. It highlights the perceived futility of direct confrontations with Iran's leadership structure.
