Iran’s state-run media and regime officials have acknowledged in recent days that the fourth wave of the Covid-19 outbreak in Iran has begun. Meanwhile, due to the regime’s inhumane Covid-19 policy, over 240,000 people have lost their lives.<\/p>\n

“This wave is far more powerful than what some people are seeing. For the health apparatus, I am forecasting incredibly challenging days. We could have avoided where we are today,” the regime’s Health Minister Saied Namaki acknowledged on Monday.<\/p>\n

The rising number of the Covid-19 fatalities satisfies the regime, mainly Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who called this deadly virus a “blessing”<\/a> and “test.” Since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, all the regime’s actions indicate mullahs have mobilized their efforts to help the Covid-19 spread across Iran, then using its mass casualties as a barrier to another popular uprising.<\/p>\n

The regime denied the entry of the virus to Iran for nearly two months. Then, the regime’s Health Ministry and other officials tried to downplay the situation. While other countries were racing to vaccinate their population using certified American and British vaccines, Khamenei banned the entry of vaccines on January 8, 2021. His decision once again underlined the regime follows an inhumane Covid-19 policy and intends to kill more Iranians. Now the so-called “private sector,” controlled by the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC<\/a>) and Khamenei, is tasked with importing vaccines.<\/p>\n

Now Iran is experiencing the fourth wave of coronavirus. All facts indicate that the regime had planned for this catastrophe to happen. Many of Iran’s health experts, even some of the regime’s health officials, warned that the regime’s refusal to issue a travel ban during the Persian New Year (Nowruz) holidays in March would result in more infections and deaths.<\/p>\n
