This week, the FRANCE 24 Observers bring you a special show on Iran.
A group of Iranian students have made an unusual drone. They hope it can someday be used to patrol Iran's coastlines, to help spot swimmers in distress. They have tested it over the Caspian Sea in the north. 
A huge sandstorm that engulfed Tehran at the beginning of June. Some Iranian web users are saying the government should have done more to warn people it was coming. They're saying that even if Godzilla showed up in Tehran, the government probably wouldn't notice. 
Rock and other forms of Western music have often been banned in Iran since the revolution -- most recently by president Hassan Rohani's predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. But today, many bands are openly playing, in public, on the street. 
Our Observer has created a Facebook page cataloguing these street musicians. He says most of them aren't doing it for the money, but just for the joy of bringing a smile to the face of a person walking by.
