Dear Friend,

Let us begin by sending you a warm New Year’s greetings from everyone at the American Iranian Council.

The past year has been a difficult one.  In Iran, following the death of Mahsa Amini, the Women, Life, Freedom movement gained momentum resulting in clashes between the government and protestors.  AIC called for the government of Iran to curb its use of force against protesters and accept its peoples’ legitimate demands. Western governments' support for the protests further increased tension between them and Iran.
