A CCTV recording showed the interior of Abuzar Mosque in Tehran being destroyed on Thursday (January 8), a day before it was set on fire according to media reports. The footage shows individuals dressed in black damaging furniture inside the mosque, before one of them approached the surveillance camera and destroyed it with a pole. Reuters confirmed the location as interior decorations of the mosque, including bricks, the doom structure, bookshelves and fans matched file images. The date was confirmed by the timestamp on the footage. State media reported that Abuzar Mosque was set fire on Friday (January 9). Unrest in Iran has killed more than 500 people, a rights group said on Sunday (January 11), as Tehran threatened to target U.S. military bases if President Donald Trump carries out his renewed threats to intervene on behalf of protesters. With the Islamic Republic's clerical establishment facing the biggest demonstrations since 2022, Trump has repeatedly threatened to get involved if force is used on protesters. According to its latest figures - from activists inside and outside Iran - U.S.-based rights group HRANA said it had verified the deaths of 490 protesters and 48 security personnel, with more than 10,600 people arrested in two weeks of unrest.
