- While the regime is forcing the laborers back to work and Tehran’s traffic is heavier than before the COVID-19 pandemic, Rouhani, like the rest of the regime’s officials, brazenly warned the people not to hold “Yalda ceremony,” laying the ground to blame the increase in infections on the people.
- Alireza Reisi, the spokesman for the National Coronavirus Combat Taskforce (NCCT): In Mazandaran, a downward trend has not yet started. Four cities of Kordkuy, Baft, Amol, and Galugah are on the verge of becoming red.
- Pasteur Medical Institute faculty member: The next likely COVID-19 waves will be severe. We have missed the golden opportunities.

Rouhani claimed in his serial lies today that there are no red cities. “We will win in dealing with Coronavirus and in line with our self-sufficiency if we manage to procure the vaccine in the future, (the enemies) would not believe it,” he claimed. While the regime is forcing the laborers back to work and Tehran’s traffic is heavier than before the COVID-19 pandemic, Rouhani, like the rest of the regime’s officials, brazenly warned the people not to hold “Yalda ceremony,” laying the ground to blame the increase in infections on the people.
