I’ve heard that something like 2/3rds of them were not used as mosques because they were empty. The people left them for Jesus it would seem and why they burned them down
According to Iranians inside Iran, many of the mosques that were attacked were being used as IRGC, Security, and Basij bases. The Iranians in the areas would know which ones to hit. Yes, many were empty because the numbers of actual practicing Muslims has dramatically decreased in the country. Mostly among the youth. In fact, the numbers of Muslims in the ME is decreasing. It seems like the only places that are seeing increases sadly is in the West.
Christians cannot outwardly worship in Iran. That could get you arrested and killed for being an infidel/apostate. So even using an empty mosque would be very dangerous. Most Christians meet privately either in homes or very small venues. I know many Christian Iranians that fled the country. They won't even allow their images to be shared on social media here in the US because it could endanger family still stuck in Iran.
I like Tousi as well. Actual reliable news as it is happening and unapologetic about it. He is definitely on the pulse. Last I checked he had about 1.5 million subscribers. That doesn't even count the numbers of people screwtube has conveniently dumped from subscriptions. It is most likely closer to 2 million. Goldi and Armin have also been good. Their coverage definitely doesn't fit the mainstream narrative being pushed out there backed by the MEK and liberal interests.
If official Iranian sources are claiming that many mosques were torched, the actual numbers are much higher.

I watch Tousi TV on YouTube so I am aware of this and thanks for saying it better than I could.
