On Monday, July 15 from 6-8 pm, the producers of Just Peace and Revolutionary African Perspectives will present a special program providing WRFG listeners with historical background on US relations with Iran from the 1953 CIA involvement in the
overthrow of the democratically-elected prime minister Mohammed Mossadeq to today’s imposition of additional sanctions and heightened war threats y the Trump administration.

Guest speakers will place the danger of US military intervention in Iran in the broader context of the ongoing wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Yemen

Particular attention will be paid to extensive use of economic sanctions as as a form of warfare to achieve “regime change” in countries as varied as Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Libya and North Korea.

WRFG invites you to tune in on Monday, July 15 from 6-8pm on 89.3FM, streamed at wrfg.org and available on our mobile app to hear from Iranian activist, Kazem Azin; Margaret Flowers on her recent trip to Iran with CodePink, and Sara Founders of the
International Action Center among others.

July 12th is being called for as a national day of action to close the migrant and refugee camps that have been created along the US-Mexico border and inside the interior, and to let all the migrants and refugees into the country with protected status. Actions are being organized by a coalition of migrant and refugee rights groups in different cities across the country. We are calling on all who are opposed to the repression of migrants and refugees and the existence of concentration camps to organize or join an action.
