Three panelists gathered by the Office of Public Witness for a webinar Wednesday discussed what Congress and the Biden administration ought to do to reduce human suffering in Iran brought on by both the pandemic and by U.S. sanctions, which prevent coronavirus vaccines, personal protection equipment and other necessities from reaching many of Iran’s nearly 85 million residents.
Tension between Iran and the United States will be the focus of a webinar Thursday by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Office of Public Witness (OPW), the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and various other partners for peace.
