Senior regime officials are making troubling remarks about the coronavirus spread across Iran

The coronavirus outbreak has claimed the lives of 4,900 people across Iran as the virus continues to spread to more cities. After weeks of denial and secrecy, Iranian officials acknowledge that the situation has spun out of control.

“We are facing a strange and difficult coronavirus crisis. We should put aside our political difference. On the other hand, we are facing sanctions and low oil prices,” Gholamreza Mesbahi Moghadam, a member of the regime’s Expediency Council, an advisory board to Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Seyed Hashem Bathaie Golpaygani, a member of the regime’s Assembly of Experts, has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

The regime is also preparing to counter potential protests as the public outrage over the regime’s mishandling of the situation continues to rise.
