On November 5, 2018 the U.S. government enacted new brutal sanctions against Iran that target the banking, oil and shipping sectors. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared “These sanctions are the toughest ever put in place on the Republic of Iran,” and intended to “alter Iran’s behavior.”

U.S. sanctions and threats against Iran, coupled with a constant campaign against Iran in the mainstream media, are an important escalation in ongoing U.S.-led wars and occupations in the Middle East and North Africa which began 17 years ago with the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan.

Join MAWO to discuss the effects of U.S. sanctions on the people of Iran. What are the U.S. government’s motivations for imposing sanctions and threatening war on Iran? What is the role of Iran in the Middle East? How has the government of Canada responded to these attacks and how should the antiwar movement respond?
