The red flag in the sky of Iran: the people demand revenge

As tensions in the Middle East escalate, an unusual symbol of colorism, a deep red flag, was raised over the Jamkaran Mosque in the holy city of Qom, Iran. The event was seen as a gesture of serious political and spiritual significance not only within Iran but also internationally.

What does the red flag mean?

The red flag fluttering over the dome of the Jamkaran Mosque is interpreted as a symbol of blood, revenge, anger, and sacrifice. According to the Tasnim news agency, this symbolic gesture was made in response to the devastating Israeli airstrikes on Iran. The report notes: “The red flag over the dome of the mosque is a symbol of bloodshed, and the people are demanding merciless revenge.”

Ancient tradition, new threat

The raising of the red flag in Iran has deep spiritual and historical roots. This tradition is mainly carried out to indicate that revenge has not yet been taken when the blood of the oppressed has been shed. The red flag is not a declaration of war, but rather a warning of war and a threat of revenge. Its color — deep red — is a symbol of sacrifice and fighting spirit in Islamic history.

The memory of Soleimani and similar parallels

This symbolic gesture reminded Iranian society of another event — on January 4, 2020, when the United States targeted General Qasem Soleimani in Iraq, a red flag was raised at the same Jamkaran Mosque. This action caused a wave of widespread protests throughout the country, and the slogan “revenge” was widely spread. Today’s situation is reminiscent of those moments.

The demand for revenge is growing

At the same time, calls for a strong response against Israel are increasing among Iranian society and officials. Raising the flag over a mosque is not only a religious symbol, but also a sign of the mood, anger and revenge of the people. Such actions, in turn, can further aggravate the military and political situation in the region.

Conclusion: a seed of peace or a candle of war?

The raising of the red flag may be a symbolic gesture, but the emotions, demands and calls behind it are real. The threat of war is as clear as a flag in the sky, while peace is shrouded in silence. Any action in the region can create new turns in the geography of international relations.
