Current Events > Iranian factory makes U.S. and Israeli flags to burn

(+) Yeah! (+)

At the factory in the town of Khomein, southwest of the capital Tehran, young men and women print the flags by hand then hang them up to dry. The factory produces about 2,000 U.S. and Israeli flags a month in its busiest periods, and more than 1.5 million square feet of flags a year.

Tensions between the United States and Iran have reached the highest level in decades after top Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad on Jan. 3, prompting Iran to retaliate with a missile attack against a U.S. base in Iraq days later.
In state-sponsored rallies and protests in Iran, demonstrators regularly burn the flags of Israel, U.S. and Britain.

Ghasem Ghanjani, who owns the Diba Parcham flag factory, said: We have no problem with the American and British people. We have (a) problem with their governors. We have (a) problem with their presidents, with the wrong policy they have.
The people of America and Israel know that we have no problem with them. If people burn the flags of these countries at different rallies, it is only to show their protest.
Rezaei, a quality control manager, who declined to give her first name, said, compared to the cowardly actions of the United States, such as General Soleimanis assassination, this (burning an American flag) is a minimal thing against them. This is the least that can be done.

For hardliners, anti-American sentiment has always been central to Irans Islamic revolution, and Irans clerical rulers continue to denounce the United States as the Great Satan.
Last November, however, many Iranians took to the streets to protest against the countrys top authorities, chanting our enemy is not the U.S., our enemy is here.
During protests this month that erupted after Tehran belatedly admitted shooting down a passenger plane by mistake, young demonstrators in Tehran refused to step on the American flag painted on the street.

Wonder what would happen if I burned an Iranian flag and uploaded it to youtube..?

Or even better, i could make a vid of me using their flag as a bib while i ate a big plate of saucy, all American ribs. And wipe my mouth and blow my nose on it.

Thinking about that makes me happy.

Tit for tat. If they like burning flags so much, must be fun, let me in on the action.

Then go for it. No one would stop you and it would probably be legal.

I feel like this post was supposed to make burning flags sound silly, but what you described is way more cringe-y than burning a flag.

an american factory should start making tiny iranian factories that kids can step on

Glad to see Iran embrace capitalism.

Theres nothing cringey about it, youre just too sensitive. That post was funny.

Wasnt supposed to imply burning flags is silly at all, im saying if you like burning my flag so much, i will burn yours. And I will eat bbq and wipe my fuckin lips off on it too.

America and Israel keeping the Iranian flag industry afloat.
