Iran: Coronavirus Death Toll in 450 Cities Exceeds 116,500 Over 116,500 people have died of the novel coronavirus in 450 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 27,192, around a fifth of the actual figure. The regime\u2019s Health Ministry spokesperson announced the mullahs\u2019 engineered Covid-19 numbers on Monday as 3902 new cases and 4167 patients in dire conditions. These numbers are unprecedented since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. She also added there have been 235 deaths in the past 24 hours, which is the highest daily death toll since the pandemic began, alongside July 28. \u201cWe may be forced to launch field hospitals to accept new patients. At least 200 people are dying each day because of Covid-19, and of course I believe the death rate may actually be far higher,\u201d said Masoud Mardani, a member of the National Covid-19 Task Force on Monday, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency.
