Mosque Burns in Tehran as Deadly Protests Rage on in Iran
Video


Video shared on social media on January 9th showed a mosque burning in Tehran during Iran’s most widespread protests in years. The date when the video was recorded could not be independently verified. However, state media reported on January 9th that the mosque in the video had been burned. Protests have spread across much of Iran over the last two weeks, beginning in response to soaring inflation, but quickly turned political with protesters demanding an end to clerical rule.
