The Hidden Face of Sanctions

The real purpose of sanctions is not to affect the policies of the Iranian government, it is to destroy Israel’s last remaining competitor in the region.

(JACKSON, Miss.) - The sanctions imposed recently against Iran by the United Nations, and later separately by the US Congress, have one thing in common. Both were driven by the US at the instigation of Israel.

Instead, each participant chooses the issue(s) to focus on, the tactics to use, and the people to work with. This freedom has resulted in a dynamic and successful community of activists”.
