Following Hamaney's assassination, a symbolic step was taken in Iran; a red flag, interpreted as a message of "revenge" and "resistance," was hung on the dome of the Camkeran Mosque.
A significant development occurred in Iran following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a joint operation by the US and Israel. The red flag, known as a symbol of revenge and resistance in the country, was hung on the dome of the Jamkaran Mosque in Qom.
In images shared on social media, the red flag was seen waving on the dome of the mosque, which holds a special place in Shia belief. The images quickly garnered widespread attention.
"THE BLOOD SPILLED WILL BE ACCOUNTED FOR" MESSAGE
The red flag is interpreted in Iran and Shia tradition as a message of "revenge" and "the blood unjustly spilled will be accounted for." This symbol is particularly used as a strong religious and political message during critical times.
US-ISRAEL ATTACKS ON IRAN
While negotiations continued between the governments of Tehran and Washington, Israel and the US launched a military attack on Iran on February 28.

In the US-Israel attacks, many high-ranking officials, including Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, were killed.
The Iranian Red Crescent announced that 201 people lost their lives and 747 were injured in the bombings targeting the country.
