Images of an Israeli flag accompanied by a banner reading “Thank You Mossad” on a bridge in Tehran were released on social media Monday night after the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, which Iranian officials have blamed on Israel.

The flag was reportedly raised on a bridge in the Paris neighborhood of the Iranian capital.

The photos appear to have been first posted by a Twitter account, Vahid Online, who tweeted that it received the images from Tehran.
Open source intelligence social media account Intelli Times tweeted that it was able to verify the authenticity of the photos and video based on the vehicles seen in the video and the Kalleh Dairy ad behind the flag.

Iranian law prohibits the use of Israeli flags, symbols or signs. Iranians and visitors to the country associated or allegedly associated with Israel have ended up in prison or executed in the past. Protests against the state are also often brutally repressed in Iran, with some protesters receiving prison and death sentences. Amid anti-government protests in early 2020, Tehran students avoided walking on the huge American and Israeli flags that were placed on the Fakhrizadeh was one of the top officials behind Iran’s nuclear program and was the head of the Project Amad, the country’s nuclear weapons program, and then the SPND which, according to Israel, continued the work carried out under Project Amad. Iran has blamed Israel for his murder and threatened to retaliate.
