However, the history of U.S.–Iran interactions has a longer history. Sharafi will briefly review the history of U.S.–Iran relations in the context of the broader history of the Iranian struggle.•Bahar Sharafi is an Iranian-American peace activist and data scientist living in Dorchester. She is Massachusetts chapter leader for National Iranian American Council, co-chair of CD8 for Palestine, and collaborates with MAPA in Arise & Resist and in organizing around peace and reconciliation with Iran.
