- Iranian authorities were apparently scared of a viral video.
- The clip shows a 70-year-old man dancing and singing in the street.
- Fearing it would spark dissent, authorities arrested the men in the video, NYT reported.
The Instagram video seems harmless.
An Iranian man in a white suit, identified by the New York Times as 70-year-old market stall owner Sadegh Bana Motejaded, dances in the street and sings a folk song as a group of men around him clap and sing along.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh," they cheer to Motejaded's song.
