Reporting by PMOI/MEK
Iran, August 12, 2021—While the death toll of Iran’s coronavirus outbreak is nearing 355,600, the regime continues to delay on purchasing Covid-19 vaccines and is poised on inflicting even more pain and damage on the country’s population.
Ebrahim Raisi‘s taking reigns of the presidency coincided with the rise of Covid-19 casualties in Iran. According to the regime’s engineered statistics, the number of casualties reached 588 in a recent 24 hour period. The highest such stat was previously reported on April 26, standing at 496 coronavirus casualties. The official statistics show the number of 40,808 cases on August 9, which is record-breaking.
Of course, it is worth noting that these numbers are not real and has been downsize. The real figure is much higher, and the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) has issued daily statements.
On this topic one needs to only cite a tweet by Abbas Abdi to Raisi:
“… Let’s do something acceptable today. Order the registration statistics be published so that the people, and more importantly government officials, including yourself, know that the real death toll is 2.5 more than the official figures.”
Official statistics also show that 336 cities in Iran are registered as red zones.
State-statistics show that an Iranian dies every two and a half minutes. This is attributed to Covid-19 while the real perpetrator is the mullahs’ regime. The virus has been eradicated in many countries, and those countries are removing protocols such as masking. The solution is to launch a meaningful and effective nationwide vaccination effort using globally approved vaccines.

Why is vaccination delayed in Iran?
On January 9, regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei delivered a televised address, in which he clearly stipulated his opposition to purchasing Covid-19 vaccines. “The entry of American and British Covid-19 vaccines into the country are banned. I have told this to our officials and now I am saying it publicly,” he said.
“If the Americans could have made the vaccine, their country would not be in such a situation. There is no trust in the Americans either. Sometimes they want to try their vaccines on other nations!“ Khamenei added.
While literally playing with people’s lives, in the same speech Khamenei that the regime’s terrorist activities will continue by increasing their missile power.
Internal vaccine mirage
Making vaccination conditional on the production of a domestic vaccine is nothing more than a hollow promise. The purpose is far from meeting the people’s demands for vaccination.
Khamenei literally using the novel coronavirus to consolidate his hold on power. This is why he has called it a “blessing” and has refrained from making any serious move to contain the spread of the virus.
It turned out that the spread of fake news of the unveiling domestic vaccines is to keep Covid-19 thriving and spreading across Iran.

Genocide with the name of Covid-19
Today, it has become clear that Khamenei is in dire need of an increase in deaths across Iran. Every death, in addition to establishing a climate of fear over the disease, renders frustration and despair. In an endless chain, such a phenomenon involves members of a family and results in many mental problems. Instead of directing their anger and rage at the cause of the situation, their focus shifts on sheer survival, and depression becomes a daily feeling in their lives, resulting in a constant emittance of negative energy.
In such cases, depression replaces vitality and happiness. When a society suffers from depression and spiritual death, a dictator is able to prolong its lifespan.
When people barely have anything to eat, they spend all their time working endlessly in grief trying just to put food on the table for their families. In such circumstances, they simply cannot think of political issues and the lack of fundamental freedoms.
The regime’s supreme leader regards Covid-19 as one of his greatest allies, not a plague of the Iranian people. And to maintain his hold on power, Khamenei will resort to any and all measures, including defying science itself.
This regime has entangled the Iranian people with the seeming endless process of merely providing the most basic needs. This prevents them from thinking about more important issues.
All the while, Iran’s November 2019 protests and the continuation of the uprisings in the city of Saravan and Khuzestan province have shown that the policy of using humans as shields against the people’s uprising is failing. In the lower strata of Iran society, anger is constantly accumulating and suddenly explodes here and there.
The genocide in Iran under the mask of Covid-19 is a heinous crime against humanity. The main culprits of this crime are Ali Khamenei and all his subordinates. This is undeniable evidence that Khamenei is to blame for the hundreds of thousands of deaths Covid-19 has inflicted on the Iranian people. And the people will remember that the next time they come to the streets to protest and call for regime change.
