The clip shows people gathered in an underground shelter or parking facility, a space typically used as a protective bunker during security alerts. People in the video can be seen standing close together, some appearing to sing or chant together.
The exact location where the video was shot is not known and independent verification of the exact timing and location has not been confirmed.
Tensions escalated in the Middle East on Saturday after the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, leading to swift retaliation from Tehran and triggering explosions and emergency alerts across multiple Gulf countries.
In retaliation for the US-Israel strikes, Iran simultaneously fired ballistic missiles at Israel, Bahrain, the UAE and Qatar. The sound of another massive explosion was heard in Dubai, news agency Reuters reported.
