WASHINGTON DC (Kurdistan 24) On Thursday, Iranian media reported that the countrys Vice President for Women and Family Affairs, Masoumeh Ebtekar, had tested positive for the coronavirus, and The Washington Post suggested infections appear to be rapidly spreading among the Iranian political elite.
In addition, the head of the national security and policy committee of the Iranian parliament, Mojtaba Zolnour, also announced on Thursday that he, too, had the virus. The 56 year old parliamentarian is from Qom, one of Shia Islams two holiest cities and the epicenter of the virus in Iran. Another parliamentarian from Qom, Ahmad Amirabadi Farahani, announced earlier this week that he had the virus, as did a parliamentarian from Tehran, Mahmoud Sadeghi. The mayor of a district of Tehran, Morteza Rahmanzadeh, also has the disease.
The deaths of two prominent Iranians were also announced on Thursday: Hadi Khosrowshahi, a senior cleric and former Iranian ambassador to the Vatican, as well as Elham Sheikhi, a professional athlete and member of the Iranian womens futsal team (futsal is a form of soccer, played indoors.)
Khosrowshahi was 81 years old. Most of the 2,800 coronavirus deaths world-wide have been among older individuals. However, Sheikhi, who lives in Qom, was only 23.
Thursdays announcements follow Tuesdays news that Irans Deputy Health Minister, Iraj Harirchi, also had the disease. Just the day before, he gave a press conference, claiming that Iran had the coronavirus under control.

Those mullahs will use just any excuse to start applying oil to anuses.
The virus appears to have a thing for dictatorships.
Or the same 12 year old dancing boy.
They must be mixing up the left and right hand at dinner.
They’ve got everything backwards.
They wash their feet instead of their hands.
every little sickness now will be the coronavirus....
It's all spread from the same goat.Bring Out Your DeadYou're Baaaaad!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
Lots of twists and turns to this one.
Fooling around like the Chinese with weaponised biological stuff. Why is Iran a hotspot? They get nuclear help from the Chinese and NK commies. Prob germ warfare help too
Don’t you think it’s odd that it’s NOT spreading to the Chinese elite?
Iraj Harirchi
You beat me to it, I was going to ask if they were all humping the same goat.
As with Indonesia’s adamant denial of ANY cases...how do we know that?
With China it makes sense... they want to draw attention away from the possibility this was an intentional attack on the world... but Indonesia? What’s their motive?
I’m sure they do a lot of outsourced JIT manufacture, just like China...plus they’re populous, have Third World sanitation, and combine Islamic fatalism with the Asian need to save face at all costs. The disease would spread just as wildly as in Iran.
