STORY: Reuters was able to verify the location of the videos, based on the color of the lights, as well as the airport sign, the windows and the shape of the building.

Reuters was not able to confirm the date the videos were filmed, though a trusted source said they were filmed on November 7.

The Twitter account also said team players did not cheer or celebrate after defeating Brazil to win the championship cup.

The Iranian beach football federation, in a statement on Monday (November 8), said the players' actions were “unwise”.
