It has been reported, specifically in an article by AnonHq, that the symbolic ‘red flag’ has been raised above Jamkaran Mosque in Iran.
The flag symbolizing ‘war’ has been hoisted for the first time in recorded history, following the US airstrike ordered by US President Donald Trump that killed Major General Qassem Soleimani, leader of Iran’s elite Quds Force.
According to historians, this is the first time that the flag has been raised, signifying a ‘new era of military tension and disturbed diplomacy between the United States and Iran’.
Moreover, according to the Sun, the words written on top of the flag read ‘those who want to avenge the blood of Hussein’. The Sun has also shared that high ranking officials in Iran vowed attacks on US targets in the Middle East. This includes stationed warships in the Persian Gulf.
“Iran today pinpointed 35 “key US targets” for revenge after its top general was assassinated – with America expecting retaliation within weeks,” in an article by the Sun.
The flag was reportedly raised to the top of one of the largest and most famous mosques in Iran, Jamkarān Mosque, in the city of Qom.
The Sun also reported that high ranking Iranian officials promised attacks on U.S. targets in the Middle East, including warships that are stationed in the Persian Gulf.
On the same day that the flag was raised, Reuters reported that rockets were shot at a heavily fortified “green zone” in Baghdad, which is home to many government buildings, including a United States embassy.
Luckily, there were no casualties reported in the attack, and no one has claimed responsibility. U.S. officials suspect that Iran is behind the rocket attack, but there are many forces in the region that want the U.S. military and their allies to go home. As a result, the attack could have come from a number of different groups that are fighting for either power or independence in Iraq.
The United States has also stepped up its presence in the Middle East, sending an additional 3,000 troops to bases within striking distance of Iran. Following the initial attack, the United States, Canada, and other western nations urged citizens to cancel any travel plans to Iran, and warned those who are currently vacationing in the country to come home as soon as possible, which could be a signal that some type of further military action is expected.
