The significance of the red and white flags at Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral
During the funeral procession for the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday, thousands of attendees carried red and white flags. Within Shia Muslim tradition, these banners are said to represent concepts of “martyrdom” and “revenge.” The flags feature the Farsi inscription “Ya Hussein,” which honors the 7th-century martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad.
