For the past four months, many people with friends and family in Iran haven't known if their loved ones are safe. The Iranian government cut off internet access inside the country on January 8th amid widespread protests. There were moments in the weeks that followed when Iranians could access the outside world. But when the U.S. and Israel attacked the country in late February, the blackout resumed.  Now, despite the fragile ceasefire, many Americans of Iranian descent are left in limbo. KAZU's Elena Neale-Sacks sat in on a recent meeting of the Iranian Student Union at UC Santa Cruz.
