The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 83,985, around a fourth of the actual figure. The semi-official ISNA news agency issued a report Monday warned of a possible fifth wave since the Indian and South African variant are circulating in the southern parts of the country. The number of new cases is skyrocketing in the country\u2019s southern provinces, while other provinces have seen an end to the decreasing trend or stats rising once again. Soon there will be an increase in the number of patients hospitalized and deaths due to coronavirus. It is possible that most parts of the country will once again face issues such as shortages in hospital beds and oxygen tanks, the reports added. Iranian Baha\u2019i Citizens Pressured to Make False Confessions A few days after the arrests of Dorsa Dehghani and Sina Kamali, some news sources, and social media users, reported that security forces have pressured the two Baha\u2019is to make a forced confession. The two Baha\u2019i citizens were arrested separately by security agents in the southwestern city of Shiraz on June 14 and transferred to an unknown location. Sina Kamali and Dorsa Dehghani have only had brief telephone conversations with their families during which they informed the families that they are being interrogated and are under psychological and physical pressure. The Iranian regime severely restricts Baha\u2019is right to education, including prohibiting Baha\u2019i students from registering at universities and expelling them if their identities are discovered.
