While the mullahs’ criminal and plundering policies has led to coronavirus taking more lives with each passing day, regime President Hassan Rouhani resorted to more preposterous remarks on Thursday. One of the prides of the “revolution is in the people’s health. Nobody can deny this reality. All these hospitals, all these hospital beds, equipment, physicians and nurses, all these testing devices across the country,” he said.
“The novel coronavirus has spread across the country’s southern provinces. We have 22 red cities, 175 orange, 251 yellow and no blue cities,” the regime’s Health Ministry announced on Thursday.
“The provinces of Fars and Hormozgan, and to some extent Bushehr and Sistan & Baluchistan, have become concerning epicenters of the fifth peak with the Indian variant,” according to a Thursday report wired by the Tasnim news agency, an outlet linked to the regime’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Quds Force.
