Yeah, I got this email from them March 7th.   Doesn't seem to  suggest any possibility of operational suspensions:

Dear friend;

Iranians all across the world are preparing themselves to celebrate the beginning of the Persian New Year, called Nowruz.

Nowruz, the arrival of spring in the northern hemisphere, is one of the oldest and most cherished festivities, which has been celebrated for at least 3,000 years.

Before the coronavirus pandemic, Iranians used to celebrate Nowruz by visiting their loved ones, going on trips and spending time in nature.

Have you ever heard of this national feast? What do you know about Nowruz? It would be great if you send your New Year messages to all Iranian listeners of our radio and tell us what you know about this beautiful festivity. Your messages will be read out in our special program on the occasion of Nowruz.

Waiting for your beautiful messages

Sweet snag for you, Chris.  Sussex is about 30 miles North of my QTH.   Their 10 KW daytime power normally fades out somewhere is Central Michigan.   Their WSJP callsign is derived from "SAINT JOHN PAUL II", consistent with their religious programming.
