Israel, U.S. Flags Trampled at Koran Exhibition in Iran - Dudi Cohen (Ynet News)
    At the International Koran exhibition hosted in Tehran during Ramadan, U.S. and Israeli flags were placed on the floor at the entryway, forcing visitors to walk on them on their way in - symbolically trampling Iran's enemies.

Trampling US and Israel flags is common in Iran. Ever since the Islamic revolution swept the country in 1979, the sights of burning or trampled US and Israel flags, along with signs calling for the destruction of the two, have been seen in almost every one of the anti-West demonstrations stages by the regime.

Using flags as doormats is considered a small protest against what Iran calls the "big devil" and the "little devil" – the former being the US and the latter – Israel.
