“What’s gonna happen in America?,” the Dasandaz Band of Iran raps in a satirical music video that has taken off in their country, where many people are hoping not to see four more years of President Trump.
It’s not exactly Eminem’s appeal to voters that they have “one opportunity” to elect the Biden-Harris ticket. But an Iranian band has made a viral rap video hit in Iran with a similar message to Americans: The ballot you cast will have a direct impact on our lives. “Our hands are lifted in prayer, what’s gonna happen in America? What’s gonna happen in America?” the band, Dasandaz, sings in Persian, with English subtitles. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and others in the hierarchy have said that whether the president is a Democrat or a Republican makes no difference in America’s hostile policy toward Iran. Mr. Khamenei, who has the final word on all matters of state in Iran, expounded on that position Tuesday, asserting in a televised speech that the United States is doomed to fail no matter who is elected.
