IN BRIEF: The U.S. is escalating its campaign against Iran with the stated goal of bringing "regime change" in Iran. 60 years ago, the U.S. and Britian imposed a worldwide embargo on Iranian oil becasue Iran's Mossadegh government, the first democratically elected government, nationalized Iran's oil. The U.S. then carried out a coup, imposing the Shah (king) back on the throne in Iran and for the next 25 years, the Shah served as an extremely brutal agent of the U.S., killing up to 100,000 Iranians and turning the country’s resources over to U.S. oil companies and banks.
This past week the European Union announced a complete embargo of Iranian oil. Additional economic sanctions have already been imposed by the U.S. and its allies against Iran. Taken together, this campaign intends to impose maximum suffering on the people of Iran by destabilizing and destroying the country’s economy. The U.S. is already carrying out covert actions inside the country, including: assassinations, sabotage and drone flights over Iran, while U.S. military bases surround the country and nuclear-armed U.S. aircraft carriers and Trident submarines sit immediately off its coast.
Now is the time to stop the U.S. war against Iran before it escalates. We hope that you will join us or organize a protest in your own city or campus. If you or someone in your area is organizing an event on or around Feb. 4, please provide AnswerLA with the event details or call our office, (213) 251-1025 so we may publicize your event on our website and in future emails. ------------- ENDORSED BY: American Iranian Friendship Committee • American Muslim Alliance • ANSWER Coalition • Antiwar.com • Bail Out The People Movement (BOPM) • Cindy Sheehan, National Co-ordinator of Peace of the Action • CODEPINK Women for Peace • ComeHomeAmerica.us • David Swanson, Author, “When the World Outlawed War” • Defenders for Freedom, Justice & Equality-Virginia • Delegation’s Journey through the Islamic Republic” • George Phillies, Editor for Liberty for America • Granny Peace Brigade • International Action Center (IAC) • Karla Hansen, Producer/Director “Silent Screams” • Malcolm X Center for Self Determination • Minnesota Peace Action Coalition • Movement for a Democratic Society (MDS) • Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) • Peace of the Action • Phil Wilayto, Author, “In Defense of Iran: Notes from a U.S. Peace • Ramsey Clark, Former US Attorney General, awarded UN Human Rights Award • Ray McGovern, Veterans for Peace • Refugee Apostolic Catholic Church • SI!
