Night video shows trucks carrying Iranian artillery amid rising tensions with Washington
Social media accounts circulated a short nighttime video they said was filmed in Iran, showing heavy transport trucks carrying artillery and military vehicles covered with camouflage netting, hours after Tehran described the U.S. response to its conditions as “unconvincing.”
Social media accounts circulated a short video on Tuesday evening, November 3, that they said was filmed in Iran. It shows a convoy of heavy transport trucks carrying military vehicles, including what appear to be artillery pieces and tracked vehicles, some covered with camouflage netting, as they moved at night along a brightly lit street amid normal traffic. The six-second video was filmed from inside a civilian vehicle traveling alongside the trucks.
Filming location and timing unconfirmed
Accounts that circulated the video from Tuesday afternoon described what it showed as the “movement of artillery units” inside Iran and linked it to Iran’s latest position on the U.S. proposal. However, the filming location and date could not be independently verified. The video contains no signs or landmarks that would identify the city, and neither the Iranian army nor the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has issued an official comment. Iranian bloggers said the timing of the filming was unknown.
In the same context, an Iranian account specializing in military news and followed by about 290,000 people urged citizens to “strongly refrain from filming any movement of military equipment across the country, especially in the south and southeast,” citing “the current sensitive circumstances.” Iran’s southern Hormozgan province overlooks the Strait of Hormuz, the focus of the current confrontation between Tehran and Washington.
Rezaei calls U.S. response “unconvincing”
The video was circulated hours after Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, announced that the U.S. response regarding Iran’s rights and demands “was not convincing.” He said the Americans must provide and implement a complete and clear response to Iran’s seven conditions, and that the Strait of Hormuz would not be reopened unless those conditions were fully met, Mehr News Agency reported.
Qeshm Island was hit by U.S. strikes on Monday evening, which U.S. officials described as “limited” and “defensive,” in response to Iran’s use of surface-to-air missiles against U.S. assets. Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency, IRNA, reported five explosions on the island and further explosions in Bandar Lengeh. The New York Times, citing U.S. officials, reported that the U.S. military was preparing for a possible strike on Iran that could begin as early as Wednesday, the day after the midterm elections, with the final decision resting with President Donald Trump. Qatar, which is mediating between the two sides, said it hoped an agreement could be reached.
