@consequence: A rock band performs The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" in the streets of Tehran, Iran. Journalist Afshin Ismaeli on the significance of the video: "Moments like this were unthinkable just a few years ago. In a recent viral video from Tehran, a rock band performs in public as men and women gather, dancing and cheering freely. Since the Mahsa Jina Amini protests, the regime has struggled to fully reimpose strict hijab rules or curb public displays like this. The government has become more cautious in recent months, especially after Israel's attacks, fearing that harsh crackdowns could fuel further unrest or dissatisfaction among Iranians already frustrated with the situation inside the country." #thewhitestripes #sevennationarmy #tehran #iran
