In what can only be considered a remarkable sight, a banner thanking the Israeli spy agency Mossad—with an Israeli flag draped over it—was seen on a pedestrian bridge over a busy thoroughfare in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Monday.
A photograph and video of the banner and flag were uploaded to social media. The sign was written in English and said, simply: “Thank you, Mossad.”
Iranian authorities have accused Israel of being behind Fakhrizadeh’s death. Senior officials in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have threatened military retaliation.
The upper-middle-class neighborhood where the banner was placed is considered educated and liberal-leaning.
