The claim
"Following the American attack on the *Shahid Haqqani* in Bandar Abbas, Iran has just launched a retaliatory strike against highly classified American facilities in response to the U.S. attack on the *Shahid Haqqani* in Bandar Abbas".
Original review summary
DW found that the video did not show a secret U.S. facility struck by Iran: it showed a market fire in St. Petersburg, Russia, in December. The review says the video had previously circulated with false claims about other attacks and geolocates the incident to the Pravoberezkny Market.[S1]
