A video, which shows a building on fire and smoke billowing from it, is being circulated on the internet to claim that it shows an aftermath of a recent airstrike on Iran's Mazandaran Province.
What did users say?: Those sharing the clip have uploaded it with a caption in Persian that loosely translated to, "Kalleh company in Amol was targeted and destroyed. Serves you right, you (expletive). 29 March."
Is the claim true?: No, the claim is misleading. The video actually dates back to January, when a fire broke out at the factory in Iran.
How did we find that out?: Using the help of Google Lens, we conducted a reverse image search and found the same visuals posted on a Facebook handle named 'News Premier'.
It was shared on 5 January and its caption loosely translated to, "A fire has reportedly broken out at the Kalle Dairy Factory, one of the largest dairy producers in northern Iran..."
News reports: A BBC Persian report said that a fire broke out at the Kale Amol Dairy Production Complex, which disrupted its activities and a thick smoke was seen coming out from the building.
The report said that around 50 firefighters were dispatched to bring the situation under control.
It further mentioned that one of the manufacturing plant's facilities was undergoing repair and welding when the fire spread due to an accident.
Conclusion: Evidently, the video is old and is being incorrectly shared as a recent incident.
