Fill your boots with the farcical claims from this ‘Iranian’ account. Millions in the streets! It’s not protest, it’s a revolution! Iran Spectator says it is based in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This appears to be, what we in the sociology trade describe in our arcane technical language as, a lie. It’s an op based in Australia. And the film in the clip is not even from Iran. #HasbaraFail

The video does not belong to Iran. The cars and streets do not resemble Iran's. Moreover the video can be found posted on social media at least a month ago, before the start of this round of Iran protests. Link to video posted 1 month ago: facebook.com/share/r/1AWTeF…
