This video shows demonstrations taking place in Iran.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

FACTLY says the video does not show demonstrations in Iran but a violent protest near the Turkish Embassy in Thessaloniki, Greece. It reports that a clearer version was posted on 2 November 2025, before the recent protests in Iran, and that footage from Thestival matched the viral clip. FACTLY also says it geolocated the scene near Agios Dimitriou Street in Thessaloniki.
