Along with the release date, they also dropped a new poster of the film, marking a first in three years. In the poster, John Abraham is seen in a bloodied, rugged look as he stands against the cityscape of Tehran. The poster also included a tagline that read, "Hunted By Iran, Abandoned By Israel, Deserted By India."

The first official trailer for Tehran is expected to be released on Friday, August 1. As soon as the news was announced, fans were quick to react to the post. While many expressed their anticipation about the upcoming film, several others seemed unhappy about the film skipping a theatrical release and opting for OTT only.
