“Video showing the pilgrims who gathered at the Iraq International Airport to commemorate Arba’een in Karbala”
What FACTLY found
The video shared in the post shows recent visuals of hundreds of Iranian pilgrims waiting to cross the Shalamcheh border to commemorate Arba’een in Karbala, Iraq. Ahead of Arba’een Day, many Iranian pilgrims arrived in Shalamcheh city, located on the border of Iran, to enter Iraq. The visuals are related to the Arba’een pilgrimage but do not show the visuals from any International Airport in Iraq
