00:00Should you proceed with an attack on Iran, both the occupied territories, and all military
00:14centers and bases, and American ships in the region will be our legitimate targets.
00:20What happens when a place of worship becomes the center of a political firestorm?
00:34Tonight, a single video from Iran is fueling outrage, tightening crackdowns, and raising
00:40fears of a much wider conflict.
00:44It begins with CCTV footage from a mosque in Sabzivar, in northeastern Iran.
00:50The video shows an individual throwing flammable materials, described as incendiary devices
00:55or Molotov cocktails, toward the mosque's entrance.
00:59Inside, several teenagers are present.
01:03The clip spreads rapidly across social media, amplified by outlets like Middle East Observer,
01:09and quickly ignites public anger.
01:12Iranian state-affiliated media frames the incident as a deliberate attack by rioters, accusing
01:18protesters of endangering children and violating a sacred space.
01:24But this is not an isolated case.
01:27Authorities say the Sabzivar incident fits a broader pattern of arson during the unrest.
01:33In Tehran alone, multiple mosques have reportedly been set on fire, including the Al-Rasul Mosque
01:39in Saad-Arabad and others in Golhak.
01:42The government blames protesters.
01:46Opposition voices, however, claim some incidents may be staged or false flag operations designed
01:51to justify harsher repression.
01:54As tensions rise, Iranian authorities issue stark warnings.
01:59Families are urged to keep young people away from gatherings.
02:02And officials threaten severe punishments for anyone linked to violence or vandalism.
02:08But the crisis is no longer just domestic.
02:12On January 11, 2026, Iran's parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bakir Kalibaf, delivers a blunt
02:19message.
02:21If the United States strikes Iran, he says, U.S. bases in the region and Israel would become
02:27legitimate targets.
02:28Should you proceed with an attack on Iran, both the occupied territories and all military
02:36centers and bases, and American ships in the region will be our legitimate targets.
02:43The warning comes as chants of death to America echoed through parliament.
02:48Just a day earlier, President Donald Trump posts on Truth Social, voicing support for
02:54Iranian protesters.
02:55Iran is looking at freedom, the USA stands ready to help, he writes.
03:01He also warns that if the regime kills protesters, the response would be forceful.
03:07No military action has been confirmed, but the language on both sides is escalating.
03:14The backdrop is critical.
03:16The region is still on edge after the June 2025 Iran-Israel-U.S. conflict, a 12-day confrontation
03:23involving strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites.
03:28Now airlines are rerouting flights, countries are issuing travel advisories, and analysts
03:33warn of dangerous miscalculation.
03:37Could this spiral into a wider war, even a World War III scenario?
03:43Most experts say it's high-risk posturing, not inevitability.
03:47But with protests raging at home and threats mounting abroad, Iran's leadership is focused
03:53on one thing above all else—survival.
