The Soundtrack of Iran’s Revolution

As U.S. and Israeli strikes hit Iran, musicians and ordinary citizens are rapidly recording and sharing music, chants, and footage that capture protests, celebrations, and acts of resistance. These cultural productions are creating a real-time archive and amplifying domestic and international attention to street-level responses during the military escalation. The surge in documented cultural expression is influencing public sentiment and the information environment as the country faces broader regional strikes, embassy closures, and renewed campus protests.
