This short video was filmed in front of the White House on February 4th capturing the Answer Coalition's campaign to stop the war on Iran. "Sixty years ago, the U.S. and British imposed a worldwide embargo on Iranian oil in response to the nationalization of the country's petroleum resources by the Mossadegh government, the first democratically elected government in Iran's history. The embargo weakened the government enough so that in 1953 the U.S. CIA was able to carry out a coup, and place the Shah (king) back on the throne. For the next 25 years, the Shah served a extremely brutal agent of the U.S., killing up to 100,000 Iranians in the regime's notorious torture chambers, and turning the country's resources over to U.S. oil companies and banks. "Twenty-one years ago the U.S. pushed the UN Security Council a total blockade of Iraq. Thirteen years of sanctions killed more than a million Iraqis and severely weakened the country, paving the way for the 2003 invasion and an occupation which killed a million more Iraqis and killed and wounded tens of thousands of U.S. and other occupying troops. "Now is the time to take action to stop the war that has already started against Iran before it escalates." Answercoalition.org
