Virus May Appear to Iranians to Be Divine Justice; CoVid-19 could bring down the regime in Iran. Really.

The virus could bring down the regime in Iran. Really.

And it would be entirely in keeping with the country’s traditions. The Iranian people are used to being lied to, and the virus is only the most recent example.

As of March 4, there are almost 3,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus infections in Iran, and the tempo of spread is increasing. The holy city of Qom is the hardest-hit, and demonstrations have been widespread, having reached medical centers. Twitter had several videos of people passing out in streets and stores, and there were reports of high-ranking officials diagnosed with the virus.

The Trump administration offered medical treatment for infected persons in Iran, but the regime of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei dismissed the offer, claiming the disease didn’t constitute a serious threat to public health, and then lying about U.S. sanctions.

“The claim to help Iran in dealing with corona from a country who with their economic terrorism has created widespread pressure for the people of Iran and even closed the paths for buying medicine and medical equipment, is a ridiculous claim and a political-psychological game,” Abbas Mousavi, the spokesman for the foreign ministry, said.

So the regime leaders lie about the disease, as they lie about everything else. Medical supplies have never been blocked by the Trump administration, and are not blocked today. A clinic in Bandar Abbas was torched, ostensibly because patients from Qom were being housed there. Two high-ranking officials of the regime have died of the virus, and a number of others are reported to have it. Over the weekend, the main international terminal in Tehran was empty.

Throughout the Islamic Republic, armed forces were patrolling the streets, purportedly to stem the flow of disease, but in reality, they were putting down demonstrations against the failed state.

I hope it hits hard particularly among the mullahs and the security forces.

I read on another thread that 10% of their Parliament has been diagnosed with the virus.

Yep- this was brought up the other day- We could be witnessing history in the making- this could topple their current regime- As someone pointed out- the national guard there is itching for something to happen citing their prophecy where a ‘crisis of some kind’ will happen, ushering in their caliphate- who will then subdue the world apparently-

This could turn into a very significant event-

It seems odd that there is such a cluster there. Iran must be falling apart, including the medical system.

If it is a bio-weapon, the perpetrators have bad aim.

But....then again, both nations have an anti-government protest problem and, this moves the media focus away as they deal with their internal uprisings. So, mebee??

If the idiots would quit licking walls it might not spread like wild fire.

Possibly.

I may be just be a crazy coot. But I’m real darn suspicious of those Chinese at this point -_0

Evil people cannot be allowed to fester, otherwise bad things happen.

Wishful thinking.

The mullahs aren’t going anywhere. Except to hell, once they shuffle of this mortal coil.
