“On behalf of members of the Association of Professors and Scholars of Iranian Heritage (APSIH), I express my deepest condolences to those impacted by the tragedy of the loss of 176 people who lost their lives in the crash of Flight PS752 on Jan 8, 2020, in Tehran, Iran.

Among those who perished in this heart-wrenching accident were many young, and bright university students and professors of the Iranian diaspora, who had many years of productive lives ahead of them and could have positively impacted human life and are now greatly missed. May peace and comfort find the family of the victims during this difficult time.

Dr. Shokoufeh Mirzaei
