Tehran (Lord Media): During the funeral of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, red flags were prominently displayed in Tehran, capturing public attention. <\/p>\n
In Iran, a red flag symbolizes vengeance for unjust bloodshed and remains hoisted until revenge is taken.<\/p>\n
At the Imam Khomeini Mosque in Tehran, millions of mourners held these flags, vowing to avenge their leader’s death. The flags bore the slogan ‘Ya Latharat Al-Hussain,’ meaning ‘O avengers of Hussain.’<\/p>\n
A new slogan, ‘Ya Latharat Al-Khamenei,’ was also seen, indicating a call for avenging Khamenei’s killing. Historically, this slogan recalls Imam Hussain, a symbol of standing against oppression.<\/p>\n
In ancient times, this slogan was used to rally warriors for revenge. The Iranian public is now combining this slogan with Khamenei’s name to demand retribution.<\/p>\n
At the funeral gathering, Hezbollah’s yellow flags were waved alongside Iran’s national flag, sending a message to the world not to remain silent over this loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
