In response to the  armed conflict between Iran and Israel in June 2025, a broad network  of anti-Israel organizations mobilized through protests, petitions, and direct action. These NGOs condemned Israeli attacks against Iranian military and nuclear installations, decried United States support for Israel, and expressed solidarity with the Iranian regime. As they have for years, the NGOs ignored Iran’s illegal nuclear program, incitement and support for terror proxies in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria.

​​This surge in activism included coordinated messaging with calls to halt arms transfers to Israel, end US interventionism, and reject any military escalation with Iran.

As the examples demonstrate, the NGOs that led the violence and demonization of Israel following the Oct 7 atrocities, such as SJP and PYM, have extended their agenda to the Iranian context. The sources of funding for many are not transparent, highlighting the importance of addressing the role of pass-throughs that help donors and NGO recipients evade accountability.
