Los Angeles, United States – Video filmed by X user Fay (Fattaneh) shows aerial footage above Westwood on March 1, 2026, during massive celebrations by Iranian-Americans following joint U.S.-Israeli strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and ignited hopes of regime change.

The clip begins under a bright blue sky as a small propeller aircraft enters from the left, towing a long white banner that ripples in the wind. Printed in bold black letters, the message reads “THANK U TRUMP ❤️ FROM IRANIAN PEOPLE,” with a red heart emoji clearly visible against the sky.

As the camera follows the aircraft from right to left, the statement appears repeatedly across the length of the banner. The words remain sharp and readable from afar while the steady hum of the engine carries across the air.

The footage lingers as the banner stretches fully open, dominating the frame for several moments before the plane arcs smoothly away, disappearing into the open sky.

Thousands gathered in Westwood, chanting for freedom, waving pre-revolutionary Iranian flags, and praising President Trump for the strikes, which many described as a decisive blow against the regime. Banner planes like this one circled overhead, projecting the “Thank U Trump” message across the Los Angeles skyline.
