"Iran Raises Red Flag of Revenge Over Mahdi Messiah Mosque In Response To Ayatollah's Death"

"On Saturday, the first day of the war against the Islamist regime in Iran, the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the joint U.S.–Israel airstrikes. In response, supporters of the regime hoisted a red flag above the dome of Jamkaran Mosque. The gesture was immediate and symbolic, signaling the message that the Islamists view Khamenei’s death as blood unjustly shed, demanding revenge. This was not ritual mourning alone. The red flag, steeped in Shiite theology, conveys a clear message to the world and to Iran’s enemies: the regime intends to retaliate."


"The Jamkaran Mosque, located near Qom, is one of the most revered sites in Shia Islam. It is believed to be associated with the Twelfth Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, a central figure in Shia eschatology." 

"In Shia Muslim traditions, flags are a significant part of the mourning rituals. Red flags in Shiite tradition symbolize blood spilled unjustly and serve as a call to avenge a person who was slain. The flag was hoisted above the important Jamkaran Mosque, which is on the outskirts of the holy city of Qom, about 100 miles south of Tehran." FULL STORY at above link.
