Dear Friend,

On behalf of everyone here at the American Iranian Council (AIC), we wish you a Happy Nowruz!

Nowruz is the first day of spring and the first day of the new Iranian calendar year, which will be 1401 on March 20 (2022). Nowruz has been celebrated for over three millennia, and Iranians of all religious and ethnic orientations share in the joys and prosperity it promises.

Nowruz is known as a time for fresh beginnings, and with the prospect for a renewed JCPOA on the horizon, the true spirit of Nowruz for Iran and the Iranian people may play out this year not just in homes in Iran and around the world, but also on the troubled international stage.
