Tehran dismisses US offer of aid, accusing Washington of trying to weaken Iranians’ spirits over outbreak

TEHRAN, Iran — A member of a council that advises Iran’s supreme leader died Monday after falling sick from the new coronavirus, state radio reported, becoming the first top official to succumb to the illness that has affected several members of the Islamic Republic’s leadership.

Expediency Council member Mohammad Mirmohammadi died at a Tehran hospital of the virus, state radio said. He was 71. The council advises Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as well as settles disputes between the supreme leader and parliament.

I’m not sure what the rules are when posting articles on sites like Times of Israel where the original article was from AP- The times of Israel did add to the article- so I’m not sure who the actual author should be- or what the excerpt guidelines would then be- if this thread violates anything, please remove-

Do we need to quarantine the US politicians that met with the Iranian leaders recently? They have been exposed and pose a threat to our congress and their constituents. Kerry is included. To parrot a statement made by these Iranians, Praise Allah

Heard this butthole Senator Chris Murphy had a secret meeting with these evil dead demons! He needs to be quarantine or do it like North Korea did with their first coronavirus person, which was sickening, they eliminated him no questions asked!boom! Wow!

The mullahs stated goal is to bring forth the 12th iman to rule the worldwide caliphate. According to their beliefs that can only happen after a worldwide catastrophe which is why their striving so hard for nuclear weapons. But they’ll settle for spreading a plague to reach their goal.
