Iran Raises Red Flag Of Revenge.
Tehran- Minutes after Iran’s Supreme Leader promised a “harsh punishment” for Israel in retaliation for assassination of Palestinian leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on Wednesday, a symbolic red flag was hoisted atop a major mosque in the holy city of Qom.
The flag has been raised for the sixth time in Iran’s history.
Last time the flag appeared on the eve of Iran’s unprecedented missile and drone attack on Israel in April this year.
Iranian Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei earlier had promised “harsh punishment” for Israel in retaliation for the killing of Hamas’s political leader.
Iran has announced three days of public mourning across the country for Haniyeh.
A funeral ceremony will be held in Iran on Thursday, after which Haniyeh’s body will be transferred to Doha, Qatar, Hamas said in a statement on its Telegram channel. »
