One of the two sites is in the Abadeh region where the Marivan project is underway and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) have recently revealed a lot of information about the site.

MEK network inside Iran calls for overthrowing of Khamenei
In various cities across the country the network of the Iranian opposition inside Iran, the Resistance Units organized a vast campaign in support of the protests in Sistan and Baluchistan province.
In recent days, the Resistance Units installed huge posters of the Iranian Resistance leaders in Tehran, Mashhad, Zanjan, and Shiraz. They installed posters of the Iranian Resistance leader Massoud Rajavi with the slogan “The uprising of the people in Baluchistan is the uprising of all the Iranian people.” They also installed a poster of Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) that read “The rebels will overthrow the regime; Baluchistan is not alone.” This is while the regime punishes any form of support for the MEK with heavy sentences.
Iran News Wire: Video report on poultry scarcity in Iran

The question is why do the regime’s leaders oppose vaccines and vaccinations. They include Khamenei, who issued a ban on the valid vaccine to Iran, and President Hassan Rouhani, who raises doubts every day about the effectiveness of the vaccine?
