However, they have done little or nothing to dent their declared targets: Iran\u2019s nuclear programme and the private wealth of senior clerics. This was the conscious aim of the west, confirmed by recent comments from Obama, who made clear that the strategy of sanctions was to impoverish and drive to desperation the ordinary people of Iran and facilitate regime change from above. Therefore this has been a partial, but important, success for imperialism. It now poses new tasks for the anti-war and solidarity movement in a fluid new situation in the Middle East which is full of both dangers and possibilities for the working class and its allies.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>This is why Hands Off the People of Iran is convening an important day school in central London to discuss the issues and map a way forward.
