Demand Secretary Mnuchin suspend sanctions on Iran for 120 days
Thousands of people have already been infected and over 1,100 have died in Iran in the face of the global coronavirus pandemic. U.S sanctions on Iran have compounded the current crisis as they hurt both the Iranian economy and its health care system.
Please use your authority to immediately suspend sanctions on Iran for at least 120 days, ensuring that aid and support to address the coronavirus pandemic response can easily flow through to the country.

Why is this important?
The coronavirus doesn’t see borders. It doesn’t discriminate who it targets. If this tragic moment teaches us anything, it is that we are all connected — and in fighting this pandemic, we must all come together to survive.
There are at least 18,000 people infected with COVID-19 in Iran and over 1,100 have already passed away – there’s good reason to think those numbers could be higher given the rate of the virus’ spread and the Iranian government’s tight censorship.
As a community that cares about progressive foreign policy, we must reach across borders to push for sanctions on Iran to be suspended for at least 120 days. Steve Mnuchin, as Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, has the authority to suspend devastating sanctions on Iran that are impeding Iranian people’s ability to respond in the face of the global coronavirus pandemic.
