Hi John -
The Brookings Institute estimated that between May and September of 2020, U.S. sanctions under Donald Trump were responsible for an additional 13,000 deaths [[link removed]] from COVID-19 in Iran. As COVID-19 has continued to hit communities in Iran particularly hard, we are devastated to hear this news and cannot begin to imagine how many more lives have been lost.
It's critical that U.S. policies do not make the devastating effects of this pandemic even worse for Iranians. We told you this last week, but we’ve set a goal to raise $75,000 to be part of the solution in ending the humanitarian crisis abroad. So far we're short of our goal. Can you make a contribution today? [[link removed]]

Knowing that the pain cannot be erased in the hearts and minds of Iranians who have suffered under our failed "maximum pressure" campaign, it's time to turn a corner and ensure that these cruel and harmful policies are ended for good. Can you chip in to help us reach our goal? [[link removed]]
Thank you for your ongoing support,
Nilofar Ganjaie
Deputy Executive Director, NIAC
