The areas of Qatour near the town of Zarabad were the worst hit and locals experienced dozens of aftershocks through the course of Sunday following the initial quake at 9:23 am local time. Iranian opposition President Maryam Rajavi, called on fellow compatriots to rush to the support of those in need, knowing that Iranian regime officials and authorities will not provide any aid. Member of Parliament\u2019s Leadership: In Two Weeks, 50 People Died Due to Covid-19 Ahmad Amir-Abadi Farhani, regime\u2019s parliament deputy from Qom said that in the past two weeks, 50 people in Qom had died because of COVID-19. In response to the denial by Hassan Rouhani\u2019s spokesman Ali Rabiee and deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi, Farahani put the list of names of the deceased at the disposal of the Ministry. The regime\u2019s criminal cover-up because of the 1979 Revolution anniversary on February 11, and the sham election on February 21, as well as continuing IRGC\u2019s Mahan Air flights to China caused the rapid spread of the virus to different parts of Iran and to many of the neighboring countries. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran underscoring that the mullahs\u2019 anti-human regime was continuing to engage in a criminal cover-up and systematic lies about the spread of COVID-19, said that the intervention of the World Health Organization and its dispatch of supervisory and emergency medical teams to Iran are both urgent and necessary. IRGC Commanders, Criminals Sent to the Parliament Those making it to the Parliament after the sham election are a band of IRGC commanders and criminals who must fact justice. The top vote getter in Tehran, IRGC Brig. Gen. Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who is poised to become the Parliament Speaker, has always been among the most senior officials involved in suppression, terrorism, warmongering, theft and plunder. He received only 14 percent of the vote cast by eligible voters despite astronomical rigging.
