U. of San Francisco Prof Stephen Zunes Joins Code Pink ‘Delegation’ to Iran to ‘Challenge’ Trump’s Policies

University of San Francisco Middle East studies professor and Tehran regime shill Stephen Zunes recently traveled to Iran with “anti-war” group Code Pink---and its notorious co-founder Medea Benjamin, who met with the since-resigned Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif---to “challenge” President Trump on his policies towards the country.

In particular, the “delegation” opposed the reinstatement of sanctions and US withdrawal from the Iran deal (JCPOA), which Trump accurately described as “disastrous.” Zunes claimed that “abrogating multilateral international agreements and threatening war” (the latter is untrue) would only increase “the suffering of ordinary Iranians.” In fact, the theocratic regime in Iran is the cause of the people’s suffering.

Iran’s mullahs must be thrilled.
