DEATH TO ISRAEL! (NOT)
ranian cleric and hardliner Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi.

A prominent Iranian cleric has said it is permissible to use a future coronavirus vaccine developed by Israel if “there is no substitute.”
The Iranian regime views Israel as a mortal enemy. But Iran has also faced one of the most severe outbreaks of the COVID-19 coronavirus outside its origin and epicenter in China.
“It is not permissible to buy and sell from Zionists and Israel,” Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, 93, told the Iranian daily Hamdeli on Wednesday.
Unless the treatment is unique and there is no substitute,” he added, “then this is not an obstacle.”
Shirazi, one of the highest authorities in Shiite Islam and a former member of the regime’s Assembly of Experts that appoints the supreme leader, is considered among the regime’s more hard-line ideologues.
He has called the Holocaust a “superstition,” opposed owning pets and objected to efforts to allow women to attend soccer matches.
The response may reflect a regime in crisis.
At least 429 people have died in Iran from the coronavirus outbreak, according to Iranian officials, and more than 10,000 people were confirmed as infected as of Thursday. International estimates suggested the death toll could be far higher.
The outbreak has put additional strain on a regime already battered by US sanctions and mass riots over the past year over fuel price hikes and other economic pressures.

Maybe Israel shouldn’t sell them any.
Don’t the Iranians know it’s made from pigs? They are all going to hell!
no need for Israel
Allah will take care of it
Why MAYBE?
That’s mighty white of the cleric.
What an incredible insult.
Israel would have more to gain if the regime fell because of this virus.
Sure! And you should hand a loaded gun to someone in your home trying to kill you, too. If Israel helps the people who want them driven into the sea, removed from the face of the earth, thinking that somehow this will make the Iranians change their minds, then they deserve whatever they get.
Add a little Jewish DNA to each dose.
Let them know. “Take it or leave it.”
Yeah, I’ll bet this ancient gomer would buy a vaccine from anywhere if he thought it would delay his meeting his maker.
RE: if he thought it would delay his meeting his maker.
The man is 93!
Doesn’t he want to see his 72 virgins?
I’ve heard 93 year old men look kindly on 72 year old virgins
A guy who’s made it this long ... I’ll bet he has an intuition that it’s all bunk.
Boycott Iran.
If one Iranian has a bad reaction to the vaccine it will be “Zionist treachery”.
Israel should not sell it to the crazy mullahs.
Interesting opportunity here.
So when push comes to shove ...
There also is no substitute for a spiritual ‘vaccine’ to deal with the fatal disease of Sin.

At a minimum, they should charge them an export tariff and put that money into defense. And make the first 10,000 doses ineffective, knowing they will go to regime and military leadership.
Placebo city, baby!
>>>Allah will take care of it
So far he’s right on top of it. Since Allah is all knowing, Allah willing, and Allah knows best, the typical Iranian muslim can see... “At least 429 people have died in Iran from the coronavirus outbreak, according to Iranian officials, and more than 10,000 people were confirmed...”
