Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei pushed a conspiracy theory on Sunday, rejecting the possibility of any U.S. aid amid the coronavirus outbreak and suggesting the novel virus was a "poison" designed specifically to kill Iranians.
Already suffering under the weight of stringent sanctions imposed by the order of President Donald Trump, Iran has become one of the worst-hit countries in the world in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. On Wednesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompoe announced that more sanctions would be added for Iran, despite reports that the Persian Gulf nation was already struggling to obtain much needed medical supplies to combat the outbreak.
As a result, Khamenei on Sunday refused the possibility of accepting U.S. assistance in fighting the virus, picking up on a conspiracy theory promoted by Chinese officials, the Associated Press reported. Some Chinese leaders have suggested that coronavirus was designed in a lab by the U.S. to target their country, which was the first in the world to be hit by the novel virus.
"I do not know how real this accusation is but when it exists, who in their right mind would trust you to bring them medication?" the Iranian leader said, referring to the conspiracy theory. "Possibly your medicine is a way to spread the virus more." He went on to suggest that coronavirus could have been "specifically built for Iran using the genetic data of Iranians which they have obtained through different means."
Khamenei reiterated the allegations and criticism in a series of Twitter posts as well.

I hope the silent ones afraid of the regime's anger will rise up someday. Ones who want less religion and more fashions, music, movie streaming and night clubs.
Hmmm.....China sold the Iranians a bio weapon and it got loose in Iran?
“IRAN’S SUPREME LEADER CITES CONSPIRACY THEORY THAT COVID-19 IS POISON BUILT SPECIFICALLY TO KILL IRANIANS, REJECTS U.S. AID”
Well, alrighty, then.
REJECTS U.S. AIDCool. Let the Iranian leaders rot in hell.
When will people learn about the magic of the Trump effect?
WHY WHY WHY would we be giving Iran money?It's the brilliance of true thinkers like Trump.
It needs to be dealt with everywhere, we all benefit.
We can deal with the other bullshit later.
Because it has worked so well in the past? Just curious.
They might have worked for Imperial Japan if we had invaded. Only after occupation did searchers uncover large stockpiles of viruses, spirochetes, and fungus spores throughout rural Japan. These biological pathogens had already been tested on several hundred thousand people in Chinese villages and on prisoners of war. Civilian militias were to stay behind advancing Americans to infuse pathogens into food and waters sources, to release infected animals and insects into American compounds, and to infect themselves with choleras and plaque germs.
It all made sense to the Cabal that wanted to continue the war.
Go lick a doorknob, Ali!
I have a feeling this is one of those problems that will eventually fix itself.
They need to be warned to watch their stupid lying mouths, and the next time they let it run, they get smart-bombed.
