A video reportedly from Iran depicts a man scooping up a dog trapped on a highway median and running across multiple lanes of dangerous traffic.
With more than 20,000 upvotes, the video titled"This guy risks his own safety to save a dog along side highway from certain disaster" is currently one of the most popular on Reddit, appearing on the front page. It's also dominating the subreddit where it was posted, r/NextFuckingLevel, a forum for"impressive" actions, skills or moments.
In the video, the man waits patiently with the dog at the highway's median, occasionally patting the animal on the head. Eventually he lifts the dog into his arms by the scruff of its neck and waits for an opportunity to run back across the three lances of traffic, which he succesfully does, narrowly avoiding a pickup truck.
While many commenters assumed the video was taken in India, the direction of traffic makes that impossible. As with many other former colonies of the British Empire, traffic in India drives on the left side of the road, unlike the right-side drivers zipping by the viral video. The Democratic Iran Channel advocates against the government of Iran established by the 1979 Constitution, which includes democratically elected legislators and a president, but subordinates most state power to an unelected Supreme Leader. The YouTube channel instead bolsters Reza Pahlavi, the son of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah, or Emperor, of Iran. Pahlavi—whose father was empowered by a 1953 coup d'état orchestrated by the United States and the U.K.
