The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 82,965, around a fourth of the actual figure. \u201cThe decreasing trend is extremely slow and has its ups and downs. There are even days that we have numbers rising in comparison to the day before. This is not good, and it indicates that this illness is completely active in Tehran,\u201d said Nader Tavakoli, deputy chair of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force, on Sunday. \u201cCurrently, we have around 4,000 people hospitalized in the city of Tehran, with 600 to 900 being hospitalized on a daily basis. Anyhow, we are having a new wave. The number of new cases per day trends between 4000 to 5500. The most effective element that can help out in the three months of this summer is to increase the vaccination effort,\u201d he added, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency. Another Porter Killed in Western Iran On Sunday, the Iranian regime&#039;s security forces opened fire on a group of porters, known as Kulbars and killed one of them identified as 27-year-old Sadoun Ahmadi. In another case on Sunday, security forces opened fire on another group of Kulbars and injured one kulbar identified as Yasser. Yasser was transferred to a hospital and is in critical conditions. This is not an isolated case. The Iranian regime\u2019s security forces and the IRGC have a history of shooting and killing innocent civilians. There are almost daily reports of the state security forces and border guards opening fire on Kulbars in western Iran and civilians carrying fuel in southeastern Iran.
