Qoba Mosque
Mosque in Tehran, Iran
The Qoba Mosque (known also as Ghoba Mosque) is a Mosque in Tehran, with a view of the Alborz Mountains to the north. It is located on Ghoba (Qoba) Street between Negin Street and Khushak Street.[citation needed]
The mosque was closed by the Shah in 1975 because of Mohammad Mofatteh's political teachings.[citation needed]
During the Iranian Revolution, the mosque was a site of revolutionary gatherings.[1]
Responding to Mir Hossein Mousavi's appeal, Iranian government legally approved a Sunday June 28, 2009, (or Tir 7th 1388 Anno Persico) peaceful prayer gathering at 6pm mourning those killed during the 2009 post-election clashes at the Qoba Mosque (or Ghoba Mosque) on Ghoba Alley (North of Hosseinie Ershad Mosque on Doktor Ali-ye Shariati) in Tehran.[citation needed]
