LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Iran battered by US foreign policy

Former President Donald Trump’s suffocating blanket sanctions on Iran were a declaration of economic war against the Iranian people. President Joe Biden has continued these blanket sanctions that make it harder for people to access food, water, medicine and aid.

On top of that, Iran is in the midst of a fourth wave of COVID-19 that continues to devastate the country, with a daily death toll of that has only recently dipped below 200.

We still have a good chance to push this administration in the right direction but we can’t do it without people-powered support. Each of us has a community to share this information with policymakers and their staffs, closely monitor the news. We simply cannot afford to stay silent any longer.
