In a Town Hall Meeting on June 2, 2019 with Representative Tim Ryan (D-OH), the candidate stated the following (emphasis mine)

Now, a lot of people don't know, but Youngstown, Ohio is 50 percent African American. I've been working on these issues a long time. We need to address when it comes to African American women what's happening with their health 300 to 400 times - 300 to 400 times higher percentage of death and pregnancy or child birth. Even along education and wealth, income levels, that's an issue we need to address. An African American baby born in Youngstown, Ohio has a higher infant mortality rate than a baby born in Iran. I am deeply committed to these issues around justice when it comes to the African American community, and you can bet that I will surround myself with men and women in my administration that will help us put and excellent plan together to make that happen. Thank you.

He did not mention abortion as one of the potential causes for infant mortality (as some candidates do), and being a Democrat (whose party platform is in favor of increased access to abortion), I'm going to assume he is not including that in his count.

So is his claim correct? Does an African-American baby born in Youngstown, Ohio have a higher infant mortality rate than a baby (not of a specific ethnicity) born in Iran?

  I know it's popular to bash on Iran these days, but it could be that they have excellent neonatal care. The Middle East is not some technologically primitive sinkhole.

Highly likely. The infant mortality rate in Iran is 13 (per 1000 births); the infant mortality rate for African Americans in Ohio (but not specialized to Youngstown) is 15.6.

There may be difference in definition (in the USA, some neonatal deaths that are included in the IMR are classified as stillbirths in other countries and excluded), but Ohio would not be the only state where black mothers have Third World levels of infant and maternal mortality.

  I think we need some context. What's infant mortality for other Americans? For Europeans? Asia? In Papua New Guinea?

  @fredsbend you can find some statistics about infant mortality in this old answer of mine. The US is clearly lagging behind other developed countries.
