Maryam Rajavi: The Mullahs\u2019 Ominous Regime Turned Iran Into the Epicenter of the Outbreak in the Middle East by Covering up and Failing to Cope With the Crisis<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Maryam-Rajavi\"<\/p>\n

\n

Maryam Rajavi<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0expressed abhorrence at the statements of the regime\u2019s leaders blaming the people of Khuzestan for the rise in infections in that Province.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She said, \u201cThe main culprit in the spread of the coronavirus is the ominous Velayat-e Faqih regime which turned\u00a0Iran<\/strong> into the epicenter of the outbreak in the Middle East through its covering up of the outbreak, plundering the public\u2019s 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\u2019s false data.\u201d<\/p>\n
