A countdown ends with a dense white cloud shooting toward the ceiling. The demonstrator retreats with his hands over his head; moments later, the camera tilts upward to show displaced panels in the hall's suspended ceiling.

Qatar-based Al Araby Television reports that the footage comes from a center for children's and adolescents' intellectual development in Iran's Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. Its upload has drawn about 145,000 views since yesterday, although the footage itself carries an on-screen date of November 7, 2024.

The report's description addresses a misleading account accompanying the circulating clip: that it showed a rocket-fuel experiment in a children's classroom. Speaking to local media, the center's director said the educational event had several sessions and that this recording came from the evening session for teachers, educators and other adults.

According to the director, the demonstration involved mixing boiling water with liquid nitrogen to produce a cloud near ground level, not testing rocket fuel.

The brief recording shows the presenter pouring a bucket into a large vessel on a table. The cloud immediately surges upward, obscuring much of the stage before thinning enough for him to look around and inspect what happened.
