Facility produces about 2,000 US and Israeli flags a month in its busiest periods

Business is booming at Iran’s largest flag factory which makes US, British and Israeli flags for Iranian protesters to burn.

At the factory in the town of Khomein, south-west 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 US and Israeli flags a month in its busiest periods, and more than 1.5m sq ft of flags a year.

Tensions between the US and Iran have reached the highest level in decades after top Iranian military commander Qassem Suleimani was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad on 3 January, prompting Iran to retaliate with a missile attack against a US base in Iraq days later.

In state-sponsored rallies and protests in Iran, demonstrators regularly burn the flags of Israel, US and Britain.
