the way they fought the Iraq war decades ago, a few hundred thousand deaths from Civid 19 is not a concern for their leaders.

The truth is that the core of the Iranian medical infrastructure was trained in the US and Iran patterns its academic Medicine closely after American norms. Sure most Iranian physicians are gagging that they are now depending on China for any pharmaceuticals and equipment.

The supreme leader’s rejection could be the start of a self liquidating problem in Iran. The fewer Iranians, the better are the chances for peace in the middle east.

With those diapers on the mullah’s heads there’s no fear of toilet paper supplies. Buncha shiite heads - hence the diaper toppers.

Seems like great cost savings opportunity to me. I’m glad they declined.

Yeah like the leadership of Iran does not enjoy, make possible, and scream with Shiite ecstasy each time they kill someone.

Why in the hell would we help Iran? I can think of helping ourselves first, and our friends second. Iran, North Korea, Russia, China and all Muslim majority counties would all be at the absolute bottom of the list considering they are our enemies.
