Khaberni - Social media accounts circulated a video that garnered thousands of views, showing a group of soldiers in military uniform inside a mosque, claiming they were converting to Islam.
The video's publishers connected the scene to the soldiers being influenced by the ongoing war between Iran, the United States, and Israel, implying that the religious conversions resulted from recent battle events.
After conducting a verification process through visual analysis and reverse video search, it was confirmed that the claim is misleading, and the video has no relation to the current war.
The video dates back to Russian soldiers in a mosque in the Russian capital during the last Ramadan.
The architectural style of the mosque is noteworthy in the video, showing ornate domes, large chandeliers, and distinctive interior design.
Comparing these details with published photos of famous mosques, there is a clear match with the Moscow Grand Mosque.
The claim relies on taking the video out of its original context and associating it with ongoing events to lend it false credibility. There are no reliable evidence to indicate that soldiers announced their conversion to Islam in a mosque due to the Iranian-American-Israeli war.
The Iran-U.S.-Israel war on Iran enters its second month with continued escalation. On day 30 of the war, Tehran launched a missile attack on southern Israel, amid the sound of sirens in Dimona and the Israeli military announcing rockets falling in open areas.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post reported based on American officials that the Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, but it will not amount to a full invasion.
