In fact, if Pinocchio lied in the Twilight Zone, while the Twilight Zone merged with George Orwell\u2019s novel 1984, the result would be vastly more honest and rational than Rouhani\u2019s outlandish remarks. Listening to his fibs about the regime as \u201cthe axis of peace and stability,\u201d one wonders if Tehran\u2019s officials have now completely divorced reality, the eventual fate of every dictatorship.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/blog\/op-ed\/in-1984-irans-rouhani-meets-pinocchio\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Iran news in brief, September 29, 2020<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Iran news in brief, September 29, 2020\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_enghkFOjflE\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FenghkFOjflE%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/enghkFOjflE\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M47S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2020-09-29T10:06:27Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_enghkFOjflE\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FenghkFOjflE%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Iran news in brief, September 29, 2020<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/enghkFOjflE\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FenghkFOjflE%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Iran news in brief, September 29, 2020\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Iran news in brief, September 29, 2020 Father of Jailed Protester Commits Suicide Over Son\u2019s Death Sentence The father of a jailed political prisoner who has been sentenced to death for his participation in Iran\u2019s November 2019 protests committed suicide and died. According to ROKNA state-run News Agency, Mohammad Moradi, the 60-year-old father of jailed protester Amir Hossein Moradi, died this morning in his home. The report said that he hanged himself in his basement. Amir Hossein Moradi\u2019s mother said that her husband was under severe pressure due to his son\u2019s death sentence and that until his death, he constantly talked about his son and was extremely concerned about Amir Hossein. Iran: Coronavirus Death Toll in 444 Cities Exceeds 111,300 Over 111,300 people have died of the novel coronavirus in 444 cities checkered across all of Iran\u2019s 31 provinces, according to reports tallied by the Iranian opposition People&#039;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran as of Monday afternoon local time. The official death count declared by the regime stands at 25,779, around a fifth of the actual figure. \u201cAvailable beds to hospitalize Covid-19 patients are very scarce now and many of our hospitals have numerous Covid-19 patients in their emergency branches. However, they cannot be transferred to ordinary branches or even the ICUs,\u201d said a senior member of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force on Monday. \u201cThe number of dire patients and those who need to be transferred to ICUs have increased. They have reached the 35 percent mark in some hospitals. This has made managing the status quo exceedingly difficult. However, the main threat indicator is the number of patients that have been placed in the emergency section and are waiting to be transferred to ordinary branches. This is an alarm bell because each day 600 to 700 people are being hospitalized in Tehran and the number of those released are low because the patients are in dire conditions,\u201d he added, according to the Fars news agency, an outlet linked to the Revolutionary Guards. A Toddler Separated from Her Christian Parents An Iranian regime court issued an inhuman ruling to separate a 2-year-old toddler from her Christian parents despite her \u201cstrong emotional bonds.\u201d The little girl was subsequently separated from her parents and handed over to the Welfare Organization. Lydia suffers from heart and GI problems. She would face an uncertain future if sent to the orphanage of the Welfare Organization. It is unlikely that any other family would adopt her due to her illness.
