#IsraelIranConflict Iran Raises the Red Flag of "Revenge" Over Jamkaran Mosque*
In a powerful symbolic gesture, Iran has hoisted the red flag of "revenge" atop the Jamkaran Mosque in Qom. This rare act signifies a call for justice and retribution, traditionally reserved for times of profound national mourning and outrage. The last notable instance was following the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani in 2020.
The current raising of the flag comes in the wake of the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, an act Iran attributes to Israeli forces. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed severe punishment, stating, "Following this bitter, tragic event which has taken place within the borders of the Islamic Republic, it is our duty to take revenge."
The red flag, inscribed with "O ye avengers of Hussein," symbolizes a readiness to avenge unjust bloodshed, drawing from Shiite history and the martyrdom of Imam Hussein. Its display underscores Iran's commitment to responding decisively to perceived aggressions.
