Iran vows revenge against US as it unfurls red flag on top of Mosque

A red flag has been hoisting on top of a Mosque in Iran during a ceremony to honour top general Qassem Soleimani in a declaration they are ready for war. Red flags in Shiite tradition symbolise both blood spilled unjustly and serve as a call to avenge a person who is slain. This comes after US launched an airstrike on Baghdad killing 8 people including the powerful commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force, Qaseem Soleimani.
