Exceeds 53,600 The People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran announced on Friday, that the Coronavirus deaths in 334 cities across Iran have increased to 53,600. According to the state news agency, IRNA, the spokesperson for the regime\u2019s Health Ministry said that the number of victims in the past 24 hours was 120, with 2,615 new cases and 2,833 patients admitted to intensive care units. In Bushehr, the secretary of the NCCT was quoted by the Javan news website on Friday saying: \u201cThe number of people with Coronavirus in the province has increased by more than 90% in 9 days. The number of deaths has increased by 66 percent and the number of hospitalized patients has increased by 170 percent\u2026 The number of patients in Bandar Ganaveh is increasing every day, and as a result, the number of hospitalized and dead has increased.\u201d The Governor of Ganaveh told Hamshahri daily on Friday that, \u201cAll roads leading to the coast of Ganaveh, as well as lighting and all welfare services, will be closed down until July 5, 2020.\u201d Qassem Soleimani Himself Oversaw Iran\u2019s Arms Transfers to Syria Qassem Soleimani, the dead commander of the Iranian Regime\u2019s Revolutionary Guards Quds Force, personally oversaw the transport of \u201cseven tons of banned cargo\u201d to Syria back in 2013, according to the memoirs of a Mahan Air pilot. Amir Assadolahi explains how he piloted a Mahan Air flight in which Soleimani himself supervised the transfer of the banned cargo, consisting of most likely arms and other military equipment to Syria, per the memoirs published in the state-run website The Council of Islam&#039;s Combatants, an outlet linked to the IRGC. In a clear sign that these flights were not out of the ordinary, Assadolahi boasts in the text that Soleimani knew him by his first and last name. These remarks shed further light into the scope of Iran\u2019s support for the Assad regime in its onslaught against the Syrian people. Resistance Units Continue Their Activities Across Iran In recent days, Resistance Units and supporters of the People&#039;s Mojahedin of Iran in Tehran and other Iranian cities installed banners with pictures and messages of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi \u2013 the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, and Mr. Massoud Rajavi, Leader of the Iranian Resistance, reiterating their determination to rise up and overthrow the anti-human regime. They also paid tribute to Marjan, the popular resistance artist who passed away in Los Angeles on June 5, by distributing leaflets and writing graffiti.
