Maryam Rajavi: The Mullahs’ Ominous Regime Turned Iran Into the Epicenter of the Outbreak in the Middle East by Covering up and Failing to Cope With the Crisis
Maryam Rajavi expressed abhorrence at the statements of the regime’s leaders blaming the people of Khuzestan for the rise in infections in that Province.
She said, “The main culprit in the spread of the coronavirus is the ominous Velayat-e Faqih regime which turned Iran into the epicenter of the outbreak in the Middle East through its covering up of the outbreak, plundering the public’s wealth, ineptitude in handling the crisis and discrimination. As a result of this conduct, the tally of those losing their lives due to the coronavirus in Iran is far above the total of Covid-19 deaths in the Middle East countries with a population of 400 million, even according to the regime’s false data.”
