When videos posted on Friday appeared to show the ancestral home of the late founder of the Iranian Islamic Republic on fire, state media derided the news as “a lie”. But footage posted by the activist network 1500tasvir told a different story.
The incident occurred on Thursday evening in Khomein, the birth town of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the group said, as strikes and protests over the death of Mahsa Amini shook Iran for a ninth week.
Protests continues in Iran today. This is from the city of Mahabad. The video speaks for itself. #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی #IranRevolution pic.twitter.com/xWKY5NataK
