While government officials in the regime’s military have claimed that army garrisons have been Covid-free, the state-run ISNA news agency reported that 30 soldiers had contracted the virus and one had died in just one of the army’s camps.<\/p>\n

During the conversation with the soldiers, the news agency learned that the soldiers have not been vaccinated yet and there has been no specific date announced for vaccination either.<\/p>\n

Soldiers told: “We work the military and we have no right to inquire about these issues. We are not allowed to ask questions. It is how it is… In the military, the only health protocol is the use of a mask. Earlier, the soldiers were given three masks a month. The dining halls are also closed indoor environments without ventilation.”<\/p>\n

\"Saeid-Khatibzadeh\"<\/p>\n

Speaking at his weekly press conference on Monday, Saeed Khatibzadeh, the Iranian regime’s spokesperson of the foreign ministry answered a question raised by reporters over the prospects of the stalled Vienna talks. He said: “The Vienna talks are not aimed at reaching a new agreement, rather ensuring that the United States gets into compliance with the JCPOA”.<\/p>\n

These talks are technical discussions and are not going to lead to a new text, Khatibzadeh noted, adding that from now on, these negotiations will proceed by a governing consensus and decisions will soon be made to determine whether the negotiations will be conducted by the Foreign Ministry or any other governing body.<\/p>\n
