Coronavirus Causing Rifts Among Iranian Officials
The coronavirus pandemic was something that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei originally saw as a “blessing” and an “opportunity” but has now become the regime’s worst nightmare.
They initially thought that the infectious and deadly disease would be enough to prevent protests but not only has that failed, but regime infighting has increased exponentially.
That latest infighting can be seen at the Health Ministry, where Health Minister Said Namaki refused to acknowledge his role in the crisis and blamed medical research instead.

Assadi’s trial: A victory for the people of Iran, a test for Europe
