The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 75,934, around a fourth of the actual figure. \u201cCould we have imported the vaccine sooner? Yes, we could have. Could we have imported the vaccine in large quantities starting in late February? Why wasn\u2019t it made possible? What was the reason? This question needs to be asked and officials need to provide answers,\u201d said regime President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday in a cabinet meeting. In another hollow promise, Rouhani said prior to late July 13 million to 14 million people will be vaccinated in Iran. Rouhani continues his preposterous remarks while physicians, experts and nurses across the country are screaming over the shortage of necessary supplies. Iran&#039;s Security Forces Kill Innocent Child A five-year-old Baluch boy was killed during a police chase in the southeastern city of Iranshahr on May 10. The regime&#039;s forces fatally shot a 5-year-old Baluch boy identified as Meisam Narouie. A short video of his lifeless body in the arms of his mother, who was crying out \u201cGod, my child\u201d in Baluchi was published by Baluch social media channels. Reports indicate locals gathered outside a nearby security checkpoint following the death of the little boy and the atmosphere is very tense in the area. Another video circulated on social media showed Baluch locals gathering at a checkpoint in Mohammadan, Iranshahr, to protest the killing of the Baluch child. In the past week, the regime&#039;s forces have killed or wounded at least six civilians in the area.
