While the coronavirus wave has decreased in most parts of the globe, the criminal and plundering policies of the mullahs’ regime, including its refusal to provide general vaccination, has resulted in a large portion of Iran facing a fifth wave. The number of new cases per day are increasing.
Despite all this regime President Hassan Rouhani resorted to his usual preposterous remarks. “We will have the power transition in adequate circumstances. Of course, we may see more mutations entering the country. Today, the first indigenous vaccine enters the market, and another will be arriving next week, and a third the week after that,” Rouhani claimed on Wednesday.
“Overcoming the epidemic and pandemic is an exceedingly difficult task. It will not be resolved with mere words. We need to have strong infrastructure. Iran has 1.5 hospital per 1,000 people, while the UK and France have seven,” said Alireza Raisi, spokesperson of the regime’s National Covid-19 Task Force on Wednesday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
“On the first day of summer season 16 people died of coronavirus in [Sistan & Baluchistan] province hospitals. This was unprecedented in the past 16 months. Our hospital beds are nearly all full of patients. We are forced to use other branches of our hospitals,” said the dean of Sistan & Balucshistan Medical Sciences University on Wednesday, according to the state-run Hamshahri daily.
