He repeated the bogus claims of Khamenei that the United States and the United Kingdom intend to test their vaccines on Iranians.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Rouhani on Saturday acknowledged the regime \u201chad vaccines that we could have imported sooner. There were companies that offered us the vaccine,\u201d but Rouhani and Khamenei refused to import them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Khamenei\u2019s decision was met with international condemnation. The World Health Organization responded to Khamenei\u2019s claim by urging countries not to politicize the distribution of Covid-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mansoureh Mills, a researcher for Amnesty International, said the ban by the regime was &#8220;in step with the authorities&#8217; decades-long contempt for human rights, including the right to life and health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Iranians also used social media to condemn Khamenei\u2019s remarks, calling him and his regime \u201cdespicable,\u201d and pointing to the regime\u2019s vaccination scam, saying \u201cYou used to say: \u2018We are going to import vaccines.\u2019 What happened now?\u201d People also added: \u201cYour regime is more disgraced than ever. This is enough for your destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The authorities, including Rouhani and Khamenei are aware of people\u2019s increasing hatred toward the regime.
