Iran, September 16, 2021—Over 426,500 people have died of the novel coronavirus in 547 cities checkered across all of Iran’s 31 provinces, according to reports tallied by the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) as of Thursday afternoon local time, September 16. The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 116,072 around a fourth of the actual figure.
The coronavirus death toll in various provinces include: 100,216 in Tehran, 34,275 in Razavi Khorasan, 28,200 in Isfahan, 26,151 in Khuzestan, 16,190 in Mazandaran, 15,299 in Fars, 15,053 in West Azerbaijan, 14,835 in Gilan, 14,460 in Lorestan, 12,488 in Alborz, 11,217 in Goelstan, 9800 in Golestan, 7863 in Markazi (Central), 7479 in Kermanshah, 7305 in Hormozgan, 7153 in Yazd, 4829 in Bushehr, 4689 in Qazvin, 4108 in Ilam, and 3104 in Kohgiluyeh & Boyer Ahmad. This is in addition to reports obtained from other provinces.
The regime’s Health Ministry announced the mullahs’ engineered Covid-19 numbers from the past 24 hours on Thursday as 453 deaths and 18,021 new cases, of which 2859 were hospitalized. Furthermore, 6981 patients are in ICUs.
“Imported vaccines must definitely be approved by the World Health Organization. Sputnik has yet to receive this approval and we have no idea what they have made!” said Minoo Mohraz, a senior member of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Thursday. “This claim that the Health Ministry has not imported vaccines because officials of the Barekat vaccine company have promised to produce millions of vaccine doses is not true. Health Ministry officials should not have from day one counted on indigenous vaccines and should have thought about importing more vaccines,” she added, according to the state-run Rokna outlet.
“More than 60 percent of the coronavirus is found, spread, and transmitted in Tehran. This is exactly why this major city should come under careful consideration in order to prevent the spread and transmission of this virus, and finally contain the illness,” said the caretaker of Tehran Medical Sciences University on Thursday regarding the increasing number of Covid-19 cases in Tehran during the past few months, according to the regime’s official IRNA news agency.
“The daily number of people being hospitalized for coronavirus in [West Azerbaijan] province remains above 400, reaching 430 during the past 24 hours. This indicates that the dire conditions of this illness continue as we speak,” said the dean of West Azerbaijan Medical Sciences University on Thursday, according to the IRNA news agency.
“Currently we have 2747 coronavirus patients hospitalized in Isfahan province, of which 423 are in ICUs. During the past 24 hours 49 people have lost their lives,” according to a statement released on Thursday by the Isfahan Medical Sciences University.
“There are signs of the sixth peak beginning in the country’s northern provinces. Currently the coronavirus trend in Mazandaran province has witnessed a meaningful increase following a week of decreases in the number of new cases and deaths,” according to a Wednesday report published by the state-run Hamdeli newspaper.

In Fars province 406 new patients have been hospitalized in the past 24 hours, indicating a relative increase in comparison to the day before.

“398 new coronavirus cases have been registered in [Markazi] province and in the past 24 hours 15 patients have lost their lives,” said the dean of Arak Medical Sciences University on Thursday.
“The fact that the number of new cases and deaths is not decreasing despite vaccination, or the country being engaged in wave after wave of this illness, is due to the fact that first of all the vaccination surge came all too late. Secondly, imported vaccines, especially the Sinofarm vaccine and the existing Iranian vaccines, will have very little effect on delta and lambda variants,” according to a Wednesday piece published in the state-run Hamdeli newspaper.
