Iranian regime’s state media wrote about the COVID-19 crisis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A glance at Iran\u2019s state media sheds light on the reality of society and the crises both Iran\u2019s people and the regime face.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 crisis<\/h3>\n

The Iranian opposition, People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK)<\/a> reported on Thursday that the COVID-19 death toll has surpassed<\/a> 124,000 across Iran. Despite their initial cover-up of the crisis, now state media outlets acknowledge how the mullahs\u2019 inaction and cover-up, or long-delayed measures, have worsened the crisis. \u201cMany experts consider long-delayed reaction to the COVID-19 crisis as one of the most important reasons for the spread of the coronavirus. On the other hand, it seems that inconsistencies between officials and lack of focus in crisis management are other factors in this issue,\u201d wrote the state-run Siasat-e Rouz, or Today\u2019s Politics, on Thursday. \u201cThe government’s behavior, which at first downplayed the coronavirus outbreak and which now links the reasons for the failure of controlling the disease to marginal issues, has created a kind of mistrust among the people. This has made the coronavirus outbreak even more complicated in Iran,\u201d the article adds.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Vatan-e Emrooz daily, in an article titled \u201cLate, Necessary, and Insufficient,\u201d on Thursday wrote: \u201cRestrictions imposed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus are unrealistic and are merely a matter of government negligence from accepting the responsibility.\u201d While quoting the regime\u2019s member of parliament, Ahmad Naderi, Vatan-e Emrooz wrote: \u201cOf course, the President himself follows the health protocols well and does not show himself in fear of contracting the virus, but he is indifferent to the restrictive regulations for breaking the chain of the coronavirus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ridiculous way of blaming people for COVID-19 crisis<\/h3>\n

In line with the criminal policy of the regime to blame people for the coronavirus outbreak, Kazem Sedighi, the Friday prayers leader of Tehran, ridiculously claimed: \u201cThe reason for the emergence of coronavirus is people\u2019s sins.\u201d These remarks, although bogus and foolish, confirm the regime\u2019s intention of using COVID-19 mass casualties to quell the restive society. Sedighi\u2019s remarks, as someone being directly chosen by the regime\u2019s supreme leader Ali Khamenei, is a testament to the mullahs\u2019 intention of using COVID-19 to oppress people.<\/p>\n

\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In this regard, fearing people\u2019s backlash, some state-run media attacked Sedighi. The state-run Jomhuri-e Eslami in its editorial on October 13 wrote: \u201cThere is no doubt that sin is one of the factors contributing to the successes and downfalls of some disasters, but this kind of analysis, which has been developed in recent years, in which some people try to blame their inefficiencies and setbacks on people and their actions, is one of the most ridiculous words ever heard.\u201d The article continued: \u201cIf according to the law of cause and effect, misfortunes and calamities are to be considered as punishments for actions, we must say that what is happening to the people now is the result of the actions of officials, not the actions of the people themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll [regime’s] officials blame people for their own inefficiencies. They consider the coronavirus outbreak as the result of people’s sin, blame its second wave on the people’s negligence to stay home, and blame the third wave on people for not wearing masks. In the meantime, they do not blame themselves for their shortcomings and not making decisions about the implementation and oversight of their own approved procedures such as travel, gatherings, the state of air travel, trains, subways, buses, passages, parks, and tours,\u201d Jomhuri Eslami continued.<\/p>\n

Fearing people\u2019s backlash, Jomhuri Eslami warned the regime\u2019s officials that \u201cpeople understand\u201d the situation. \u201cThe big problem for [regime’s officials] is that they think that people do not understand and that they can, with these unjustified and baseless justifications, continue [their rule] as much as they want and continue their unpopular life. The reality is quite the opposite. People understand everything,\u201d read the article.<\/p>\n

The state-run Mostaghel daily, quoting Khosrow Seif, head of the regime\u2019s Nation Party of Iran, warned the officials on Thursday that \u201cpeople’s dissatisfaction will be troubling and costly\u201d for the regime.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome 90% of people are dissatisfied with the current situation due to the circumstances and the restrictions they have endured. However, especially in the past three years, unbearable conditions have been imposed on different sections of society. So that the essential items became more expensive day by day and as a result, the people’s table became smaller daily. In such a situation, it is perfectly normal for people’s dissatisfaction to peak and public trust to be severely diminished,\u201d the article read.<\/p>\n

Seif\u2019s warning about the costly nature of people’s dissatisfaction demonstrates the mullahs\u2019 utter fear that economic and social crises would lead to an uprising. The major Iran protests of 2019 which rattled the regime\u2019s foundation started due to the economic and social hardships. Thus, the mullahs\u2019 regime knows that people\u2019s uprising this time will result in the regime\u2019s downfall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
