The claim
A widely circulated video purports to show a father in Iran dancing at his daughter's grave, even though he actually wanted to dance at her wedding.
Our conclusion
The circulated video does not show a real scene in Iran, but rather a scene from an Azerbaijani TV series.
There are probably a lot of tragedies happening in Iran right now, but unfortunately, among the many real reports, there are also people who are out for likebait and are not afraid to spread false stories and videos to get attention.
This also includes the widespread video of an Iranian father allegedly dancing at his daughter's grave. But the video comes from a TV series.
The distributed video
The dancing dad video was first shared on TikTok before also going viral on Twitter: As of this writing, it has over 30,000 likes.

The text of the tweet in German:
"Heartbreaking 💔
Source: Twitter , archived HERE
Iranian father who promised to live long enough to dance at his daughter's wedding ends up dancing at her funeral after she was killed by Iran's moral police for not covering her hair"
In fact, 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini died on September 16 in Tehran, the capital of Iran, after being arrested for allegedly violating strict hijab regulations by not covering her hair properly.
However, the video does not show her father or the father of another woman who was arrested over it.
The video comes from a TV series
Ata ocağı has been running on TV in Azerbaijan since 2017 . It is a psychological drama that can be seen 5 days a week on Khazar TV and has now grown to 1,024 episodes.
The TV station also has a YouTube channel where the series and individual scenes can be seen. The exact dance scene can also be found in an episode from 2017 from position 18:22.

In the video that was distributed on TikTok and Twitter, a different music was of course superimposed, otherwise some people would have noticed that Azerbaijani singing was being done in the scene.
Conclusion
The circulated video does not show a real scene in Iran, but rather a scene from an Azerbaijani TV series.
Also interesting: A poster with the headline “Qatar welcomes you”, which shows a number of bans, is being shared on social media.
However, it does not come from the organizers of the World Cup, but from a conservative citizens' initiative. – “Qatar welcomes you” is not an official poster
