As President Donald Trump threatens to send Iran “back to the Stone Age” by vowing to destroy its civilian infrastructure, Iranian artist Ali Ghamsari staged a peaceful protest on Monday in front of the Damavand power plant, the largest in the Islamic Republic.
Seated in front of the facilities responsible for supplying 40% of the capital’s electricity, the composer and musician played his traditional Persian string instrument, calling for peace and against the destruction of essential public services in his country.
“I hope the sound of my tar can contribute to peace and prevent the lights from going out in households,” he said in a video posted on his Telegram channel.
