Israel-Palestine war: has a black flag been raised at Razavi Shrine in Iran? Know what it means

Amid the ongoing Israel-Palestine war, a picture is circulating on the internet in which people are claiming that a black flag has been raised at Razavi Shrine in Mashhad, Iran's Khorasan province. Several media portals are also circulating this picture with the claim that a black flag is fluttering above the shrine. 

It is worth noting that the black flag is a symbol of mourning in Shia Islam and it is raised to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussein. Internet users are saying that this time it stands as a symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian people. 

While some social media users said that the black flag has been fluttering above the shrine since October 1 and earlier, the flag atop the shrine was green. 

However, editorji does not confirm its veracity as there is no official statement or report about this as of now.
