Red flag of 'revenge' for Soleimani hoisted on Jamkaran Mosque in Iran

A red flag symbolizing blood unjustly shed and a call for avenging the dead was hoisted on the #Jamkaran Mosque in the holy province of #Qom during a ceremony on Saturday.

A picture of slain Iranian general Qasem #Soleimani and a red 'Ya la-Tharat al-Husayn' flag were carried to the mosque rooftop where the flag was unfurled and hoisted.

Soleimani and Ali Ebrahimi, also known as Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, were killed in a US airstrike at Baghdad's international airport in the early hours of Friday morning.
