While public concern continues to grow over the reopening of schools and many regime officials have spoken out against it, Rouhani deceitfully said at the school reopening ceremony: “Every step we take the foreign media are against our country and our nation. They do not want things to return to normal. They use an excuse and fabricate a story every day… The enemy was looking for an excuse to lock down the country… they were trying to create chaos… The foreign media wanted to shut everything down. Of course, they will continue to do so.” Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the regime’s Health Ministry announced that the number of provinces in a state of red or alert has increased to 29.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said on Friday: “The reopening of schools without the necessary and adequate guarantees will lead to a new wave of Coronavirus outbreak and the death of many of our students and compatriots. Khamenei and the clerics, who do not want to pay the price of resolving the issue in a scientific way and according to the experts’ views, are sending the students to Coronavirus killing ground.”
The new school year starts in #Iran despite the pandemic &red status of many cities. The early opening of schools &universities without the necessary conditions to observe hygiene protocols, will pose a serious danger to millions of students &the general public. #coronavirus
