\"Iran-Covid-19-NCRI-Crisis\"<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Covid-19 death toll is rapidly rising. Recently, Iran\u2019s state media have also acknowledged the depth of this crisis and how the regime has created and intensified it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to the heads of the hospitals, the officials have abandoned the management of the Covid-19 outbreak. The hospitals and the people face a severe shortage of medicine,\u201d wrote the state-run\u00a0Setar-e\u00a0Sobh\u00a0daily on August 4.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, the Covid-19 outbreak<\/a> in our country has a collection of inefficiencies and mismanagement. According to Dr. Mohammad Reza\u00a0Zafargandi, Director General of the Medical System Organization, the daily death toll in Iran is more than the European Union, with a population of about 450 million,\u201d wrote the state-run\u00a0Sharq\u00a0daily on August 5.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is part of people\u2019s daily life who are waiting for the coronavirus to end, but instead of the coronavirus, graves are dug for people,\u201d\u00a0Sharq\u00a0wrote.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sharq\u00a0also referred to the inauguration of the regime\u2019s new president Ebrahim Raisi<\/a> on Thursday, during which neither Raisi nor his predecessor Hassan Rouhani refused to speak about the Covid-19 crisis.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According<\/a> to reports tallied by the Iranian opposition, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK)<\/a>, over 348,700 people have lost their lives due to the Covid-19 outbreak as of Thursday.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The regime\u2019s Health Ministry announced its engineered Covid-19 numbers from the past 24 hours on Thursday as 434 deaths, the highest death toll in the last 99 days.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak, the MEK has been tracking this crisis and informing the world community and the Iranian society about the depth of the catastrophe in Iran and the regime\u2019s duplicity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beginning in 2018, Iran witnessed two major uprisings. Protests encompassed all Iranian cities twice, with people calling for regime change. The regime was able to momentarily oppress these protests, mainly the major Iran protests in November 2019<\/a>. Yet, protests erupted in January 2020 when the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)<\/a> shot down a commercial flight.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rising trend of protests was an existential threat to the mullahs\u2019 regime. So, when the Covid-19 arrived in Iran, the regime used it as an ally to oppress the restive society.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The regime\u2019s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, explicitly called the deadly virus a \u201ctest\u201d and \u201cblessing\u201d and later in January 2021 banned credible European and American vaccines.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Covid-19 is a tool for [officials] who say they are solving problems by coexistence with this deadly virus and talk less about its side effects and keep the public unaware of the health situation. They achieve their political goals and\u00a0live in\u00a0peace for a while,\u201d wrote the state-run\u00a0Etemad\u00a0daily on August 5.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The regime refused to issue a nationwide lockdown. But, when protests erupted in Khuzestan and other Iranian cities, the regime closed businesses. \u201cThe Covid-19 becomes a tool [for the officials] when the social challenges emerge, and the officials see the red light. In this situation, when people call for justice,\u00a0the government ignores and tries to pretend the situation is normal,\u201d wrote the\u00a0Etemad\u00a0daily in this regard.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Etemad\u00a0daily underlined that the regime\u2019s inhumane Covid-19 policy has caused \u201csocial dissent in the society which emerges\u00a0daily\u00a0 in\u00a0different forms, whether political or social.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the regime\u2019s mismanagement and inhumane coronavirus policy in Iran, medical professionals are under heavy pressure. They work hard to save people\u2019s lives, while the regime refuses to help them, and many of them have not even received their salaries for months.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIf the medical staff lose in their battle against the coronavirus, there would be social, cultural, economic, political, and even security consequences.\u00a0 Lack of sufficient financial resources in various parts of the health system delayed salaries and bonuses has created a wave of dissatisfaction among the medical staff,\u201d wrote the state-run Arman daily in this regard on Thursday.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnother Covid-19\u00a0wave\u00a0and the continuation of the current condition will cause the medical staff to fail miserably. In this situation where everyone wants to close the country, the Minister of Interior does not consider this issue in the country\u2019s [regime] interest and believes that the closure requires preparations, planning, persuasion, and cooperation of officials and people. Meanwhile, hospitals do not have an empty bed, and patients are admitted to the hospital courtyard,\u201d Arman daily adds.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Arman daily then acknowledges that \u201cThese problems have caused the medical staff to be very dissatisfied with the current situation, and their protests have intensified in the past few days.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the Covid-19 crisis amplifies in Iran, the people\u2019s hatred toward the regime increases. The people of Iran have nothing left to lose, and this frightens the regime.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0Covid-19\u00a0outbreak is not only a health issue. It can also impact economic, social, and security situations,\u201d Arman daily warned officials on Thursday.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
