Iran

Iran and the US have had a volatile relationship for decades.

US President George W. Bush famously declared Iran part of an “Axis of Evil” in 2002. More recently, Iran’s nuclear program has been the subject of intense controversy, brinkmanship, and diplomacy. Sanctions, meanwhile, have crippled Iran’s economy.

Caught in the middle of a geopolitical conflict are Iran’s people—and especially children who have no way to get the lifesaving medical care they need.
