]Yet, disturbing Jewish prayers at the Kotel/ Western Wall is not the only BDS-friendly activity for CodePink. (See, for example, the Code Pink Petition on Iran or the several social-media March 13-15 weekend actions listed below.) Activists from Code Pink stage a protest in front of the US treasury department demanding the lifting of sanctions on Iran.
All these sanctions have economic repercussions and the US has used all of them in the last two years against Iran.Since its announcement in May 2018, the Trump led administration has re-imposed most of these sanctions; the last being the withdrawal of exemptions given to some European, Russian and Chinese companies to work on some of the nuclear sites in Iran on May 28.The US has also asked its allies to apply similar sanctions. That’s the whole idea? However, they always have a negative impact on the common people.

The embassy has been transformed into a museum dedicated to the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, in which a group of Iranian students seized the embassy and held dozens of hostages there for more than a year.Rather than presenting an honest accounting of the violence and terror perpetuated by the hostage takers, the museum appears to blame the United States and Israel for the crisis, and glorify the 1979 Iranian Revolution that instituted Iran’s brutal theocracy.

Iran was the first epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in West Asia and despite having a decent health care system it has witnessed high numbers of deaths (more than 9,800 as of June 23). Note: three of the activists in this photo (circled in red in our featured image located at the top of this post) are Ithaca, New York-based activists Beth Harris JVP activist and former Ithaca College Professor; Ariel Gold; and Amber Galewski, Gold’s protege and an instructor at Tompkins Cortland Community College.
