Iran hoisted Friday a red flag on top of the main mosque in Qom, the country's religious center, a sign of looming retaliation for the bombings at the memorial of Qassem Soleimani that killed at least 84 and for which ISIS claimed responsibility.

The waving of the flag was broadcast on the country's main media channels as a symbol of the regime's intention to avenge the blasts. 

The last time the flag was displayed in such a way was in 2019 after the assassination of Soleimani. Tehran then attacked the Al-Asad Airbase US military base in western Iraq. 

On Friday, commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Guards Hossein Salami called for retribution in response to the bombings. Several suspects have already been arrested.
