In Iran, this is not the case.<br \/>\nBrig. Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi, the spokesman for the regime\u2019s armed forces, told state-run TV on April 29: \u201cSome 3,600 people who had posted rumors in virtual space were arrested by the State Security Forces (SSF) and the Bassij.

He said the letter serves as a clear indication that the threat of the Iranian regime is real, ongoing, and not a partisan issue, and that it exposes one of the major flaws in the JCPOA, allowing the expiration in October of the UN-sanctioned international arms embargo imposed on Tehran.<br \/>\nAlireza Jafarzadeh: The threat posed by the Iranian regime to Iran\u2019s people and the outside world will persist until there is a fundamental change in Iran. The COVID-19 crisis is just another proof that the religious dictatorship places its own survival above the best interests of Iranians and the region\u2019s stability. Its behavior is not going to change. There is only one solution and that is the change of the terrorist kleptocratic regime by the people of Iran. Now is the time for the international community to stand on the side of people and recognize their right to change the repressive regime and establish freedom and democracy in Iran.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE: 11:00 AM CEST<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong> Iran: Coronavirus Fatalities Exceed 40,000 in 314 Cities<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_218035\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-218035\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-218035\" title=\"Over-40000-dead-of-coronavirus-COVID-19-in-Iran-Iran-Coronavirus-Death-Toll-per-PMOI-MEK-sources\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Over-40000-dead-of-coronavirus-COVID-19-in-Iran-Iran-Coronavirus-Death-Toll-per-PMOI-MEK-sources.jpg\" alt=\"Iran: Coronavirus fatalities exceed 40,000 in 314 cities\" width=\"600\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Over-40000-dead-of-coronavirus-COVID-19-in-Iran-Iran-Coronavirus-Death-Toll-per-PMOI-MEK-sources.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Over-40000-dead-of-coronavirus-COVID-19-in-Iran-Iran-Coronavirus-Death-Toll-per-PMOI-MEK-sources-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Over-40000-dead-of-coronavirus-COVID-19-in-Iran-Iran-Coronavirus-Death-Toll-per-PMOI-MEK-sources-1024x585.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Over-40000-dead-of-coronavirus-COVID-19-in-Iran-Iran-Coronavirus-Death-Toll-per-PMOI-MEK-sources-768x438.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Over-40000-dead-of-coronavirus-COVID-19-in-Iran-Iran-Coronavirus-Death-Toll-per-PMOI-MEK-sources-696x397.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Over-40000-dead-of-coronavirus-COVID-19-in-Iran-Iran-Coronavirus-Death-Toll-per-PMOI-MEK-sources-1068x610.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Over-40000-dead-of-coronavirus-COVID-19-in-Iran-Iran-Coronavirus-Death-Toll-per-PMOI-MEK-sources-736x420.jpg 736w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-218035\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Over 40,000 dead of coronavirus (COVID-19) in Iran-Iran Coronavirus Death Toll per PMOI MEK sources<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\" rel=\"noopener\">People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI \/ MEK)<\/a>\u00a0announced on Friday, May 8, 2020, that the Coronavirus death toll in 314 cities in Iran had exceeded\u00a0<strong>40,000<\/strong>.
