The Strokes closed out their set at Coachella this past Saturday with a performance of their 2016 song “Oblivius” accompanied by a charged video montage detailing decades of alleged CIA-backed atrocities and assassinations, and culminating with footage of recent destruction in Iran and Gaza .  In a potent echo of the present, the montage began with a photo of former Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh, who was overthrown in a 1953 coup backed by British and American intelligence services.
