The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) announced on Sunday, August 15, 2021, that the Coronavirus death toll in 547 cities had exceeded 364,400. The number of victims in Tehran has reached 85,746, Isfahan 24,440, Khorasan Razavi 23,285, Khuzestan 22,826, Mazandaran 14,160, East Azerbaijan 13,718, West Azerbaijan 13,018, Fars 12,722, Gilan 12,035, Sistan and Baluchestan 10,765, Alborz 10,683, Qom 10,530, Kerman 9,198, Golestan 8,680, Hamedan 7,339, Central Province 7,193, Yazd 6,363, Hormozgan 6,295, Kurdistan 5,872, Semnan 5,615, Bushehr 4,214, Qazvin 4,064, and South Khorasan 3,361.

Because of the catastrophic number of the Coronavirus victims due to the regime’s inhuman policies, and in fear of the people’s outrage against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the state-run daily, Resalat warned today, “The enemies and counter-revolutionary forces blame Khamenei for Coronavirus’s death toll. This could be dangerous, as they always try to weaken the Islamic Republic and … use all their efforts to target the head of the system (Khamenei) in crisis and challenges.”

At the same time, the state-run Hamedli newspaper wrote: “At a time when the death rate of COVID-19 patients in Iran has now reached a staggering 8% relative to the number of patients; and the death toll is breaking the record, security agencies estimate that at least during the coming four weeks given the (Muharram) morning ceremonies, and the movement of citizens by public transportation such as the subway, etc. will further increase infections and deaths, creating a security crisis in the country.”
