- Mrs. Maryam Rajavi: Due to the criminal and plundering policies of the regime, the dimensions of the COVID-19 death toll in Iran are much larger than in other countries in respect of their populations. Khamenei wanted to block the uprisings with the policy of mass human losses due to Coronavirus, but the uprising in Khuzestan and other provinces showed that this gimmick is no longer effective. Getting rid of Coronavirus and oppression can only be achieved with the overthrow of the regime and the establishment of freedom and democracy.

Khamenei wanted to block the uprisings with the policy of mass human losses due to Coronavirus, but the uprising in Khuzestan and other provinces showed that this gimmick is no longer effective. Getting rid of poverty, unemployment, and Coronavirus and oppression and repression can only be achieved with the overthrow of this regime and the establishment of democracy and freedom in Iran.
