SHOTLIST: QOM, IRAN (JUNE 13, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) COMPLETE SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW QOM, IRAN - JUNE 13: Iran hoisted the symbolic red flag of revenge above the Jamkaran Mosque in Qom on Friday, June 13, signaling a call for retaliation following deadly Israeli airstrikes that targeted military and nuclear sites, killing senior commanders, scientists, and civilians. The red flag, inscribed with the phrase "Revenge for Hussein" in white Arabic script, is a Shiite emblem representing a demand for justice when blood is unjustly shed. Its display has intensified calls for retaliation among protesters who gathered outside the mosque, chanting anti-Israel slogans and demanding swift action. Early Friday, Israel launched a large-scale aerial assault, deploying approximately 200 aircraft to strike Iranian nuclear facilities and missile capabilities. The attacks resulted in significant casualties, including high-ranking military officials and civilians, according to Iranian state media. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed "harsh punishment" for Israel, warning of severe consequences. The Iranian government also called for an emergency UN Security Council meeting to hold Israel accountable for what it termed "unprecedented aggression." Qom, a major religious center located 140 kilometers south of Tehran, saw hundreds of demonstrators rallying near the mosque, condemning the strikes and urging retaliation. The city, home to prominent Shiite seminaries, holds deep symbolic significance in Iran. The Iranian military has pledged "severe punishment" in response, though specifics remain undisclosed. Regional tensions have escalated sharply, with fears of further confrontation.
