Head of the regime’s Majlis (parliament) Health Committee emphasized on Friday the possible threat of the African and Indian variants spreading across Iran. “While strict restrictions were to be imposed on foreign commuting, including air travel, ground trips and maritime passages, we are still witnessing large trucks in our border provinces transferring goods into the country.
