ICUJP Friday Forum
June 27th, 7:30-9:30 am Pacific
Iran, and the West's attempts to remold the Middle East
RSVP AT BOTTOM OF PAGE
Event Description:
War, like children's fights, are meaningless, pitiless, and contemptible. — Rumi
Iran is probably the most stark example of the West's occupation with regime change for financial and military gain. From the removal of the legitimately elected Mohammad Mosaddegh by English and American covert operations, to the installation of the Shah, to the inevitable backlash to the regime and the rise of the Iranian Revolution, the modern history of Iran has been contured by the footprints of other nations.
Hanieh Jodat of Roots action will speak to us about the current climate in Iran and how its present conflicts forshadow the West's actions and intentions.
Join the conversation with our speaker:
Hanieh Jodat is a political strategist and a key strategist with Defuse Nuclear War, an initiative of RootsAction. She also serves as the Chair of Progressive Democrats of America – Middle East Alliances, focusing on fostering dialogue and progressive policies on critical global issues.
