US President, Joe Biden, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, and US Assistant Secretary of State, Wendy Sherman, congratulated Nowruz in separate messages. Biden described Nowruz as a reminder of hope in the darkest of times, and Blinken and Sherman affirmed that their countries stand with the Iranian people.

In a video message referring to the Iranians' uprising against the regime in 1401 Shamsi, US Assistant Secretary of State Wendy Sherman hailed the Iranian people's courage as incredible.  

  

“Last year, the protests led by women and girls that began with the tragic and unjustified death of Mahsa Amini have inspired people all over the world. Their message was simple and powerful: women, life, freedom,” Sherman said.  

  

Referring to the Iranian regime's suppression of the protests, the US Assistant Secretary of State said, "Instead of listening to their demands, the Iranian regime decided to resort to brutal and violent suppression of peaceful demonstrators, cutting off and censoring the Internet, and arresting tens of thousands of Iranian citizens."

Referring to the sanctions imposed by the United States on the Iranian regime due to the suppression of the demonstrators, this senior official in the Biden administration said: "In the United States of America, we are witnessing incredible courage from the Iranian people who are still standing firm despite threats, intimidation and violence."  

  

Sherman called on the Iranian regime's leaders to "change their policy and listen to the plea of their fellow citizens. Immediately end mass arrests, sham trials, summary executions, detentions of journalists, and other human rights abuses."  

  

At the end of this message, she emphasized: “At the beginning of the new year, we will continue to stand with the people of Iran, and for as long as necessary we will stand with women and girls, lawyers and journalists, athletes and cultural figures, with mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers who all want a promising future free of violence and oppression."
