The number of victims in Khuzestan is 3,435, Mazandaran 2,695, East Azerbaijan 1,595, Lorestan 1,380, West Azerbaijan 1,265, Kermanshah 1,045, and Yazd 702.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In Khuzestan, the health director of Mahshahr port told ILNA news agency, today, &#8220;The Coronavirus outbreak in Khuzestan has taken an upward trend &#8230; In the last few days, Mahshahr hospitals have been overwhelmed with patients. Again, Naft Hospital allocated another ward to Coronavirus patients &#8230; Hospital beds are not enough, and there is no room for more patients &#8230; Unfortunately, many of the medical staff have contracted the virus, which forced them to quarantine. I emphasize that we have no substitute for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The President of West Azerbaijan University of Medical Sciences told Mehr News Agency, \u201cIn the past five days, we have witnessed an increase in the number of patients and hospitalizations &#8230; In Mahabad, six patients died in the past few days\u2026 Currently, Mahabad and nine other cities are red.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On May 25, the secretary of the National Coronavirus Combat Taskforce (NCCT) in Bushehr said, &#8220;Some people\u2019s disregard has led to an increase in the number of those infected in the past 24 hours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In Lorestan Province, \u201cOfficials have announced a red state and banned travelers\u2019 entry to the Province,\u201d reported the state-run daily, Iran, today.<\/p>\n<p>In Yazd, deputy head of the Medical Sciences University, told the state TV today, \u201cIn certain communities in the Province, a slight increase in the number of suspected infections is witnessed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Khorasan Razavi Province, the head of Mashad\u2019s Medical Organization told IRNA news agency, yesterday, \u201cAt least 70 members of the Mashad\u2019s Medical Organization have been infected with Coronavirus since last March\u2026 Statistics for infected nurses, whose number would be announced by the Nurses\u2019 guild, should be added to the figure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The State-owned daily Sharq wrote today, \u201cWe should not declare victory prematurely in the struggle against Coronavirus\u2026 Contradictory statements by officials or changing decisions, as well as incorrect projections, show a lack of a clear strategy to fight the virus. Authorities had claimed that the Coronavirus crisis would be curbed before May 20.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, concern over popular uprisings abounds in remarks by officials and in the regime\u2019s media. Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh was quoted by the state-run ILNA news agency as saying yesterday, \u201cThe condition of the country today is far more difficult than the imposed eight-year war [with Iraq]. The difference is that it does not have a significant number of dead or wounded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, the ILNA news agency wrote, \u201cThe Government must stop this destructive flood behind the dam. Because if it were to enter the city\u2026 it does not care whether it is the Mosque or the Palace. It will destroy everything\u2026 The Government is in an economic recession. Coronavirus is bothering it. Instead of helping, these gentlemen are obstructing it. Even before the convening of the parliament, they are dreaming of impeaching the President.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aftab Yazd wrote today, \u201cWealth becoming bipolar in society is dangerous. Something fundamental must be done to strike a balance in wealth in society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another regime daily, Mostaghel, wrote yesterday, \u201cThe bloody November led a significant segment of society to stay away from the elections\u2026 That absent 60 percent is not only apathetic to this election (Presidential election) but also is protesting the status quo. The largest and most obvious opponents are the poor and the unemployed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, President of the Iranian Food Industry Associations, told Etemad online yesterday, \u201cThis anger becomes pent up\u2026 We cannot continue to do bad things and tell people to tolerate them\u2026 The Shah\u2019s Palace is nothing compared to what these [people] are building. Someday, the poor will torch these houses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today, state-run daily Resalat referred to the mismanagement, the \u201csaddening crisis,\u201d and protests by Ahvaz residents. It warned, \u201cOnly an excuse is needed.
