Iran Raises Red Flag Of Revenge after Ismail Haniyeh Assassination.

 

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.

“The criminal and terrorist Zionist regime martyred our dear guest in our house and made us bereaved,” Ayatollah Khamenei said in a statement on Wednesday, adding that “it also prepared the ground for a harsh punishment for itself.”

He said it was Iran’s duty to avenge the assassination of Haniyeh, who was in the Iranian capital for the inauguration of President Masoud Pezeshkian.
