The video was posted on Sunday by Ali Sedaghati, who said he was unable to identify the object captured in the footage.
The sighting prompted a range of theories on social media. Some users suggested the objects could have been drones or distant aircraft, while others proposed that they may have been kites fitted with lights.
Other users speculated that the lights could be linked to military activity or weapons testing, although no evidence has emerged to confirm those claims.
Iranian authorities have not publicly identified the objects or confirmed what caused the lights seen in the footage.
The lack of an official explanation has left the nature and origin of the sighting unclear. Without additional information about the location, altitude or trajectory of the objects, their identity cannot be independently established from the video alone.
