Iran: Over 50,300 Coronavirus Deaths, Due to Mullahs\u2019 Inaction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 50,300 people in Iran gave died from the Coronavirus due to the mullahs\u2019 inaction, according<\/a> to the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran\u00a0(PMOI\/MEK)<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday , Iran\u2019s Deputy Health Minister Iraj Harirchi said: \u201cLet\u2019s not think that the death toll of 5,000, eight or nine thousand, though each one of them is important, [is high], though if we are careless, unfortunately, [we will reach] figures of 10,000, 15,000 and God forbid the number may reach two or three hundred thousand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The figures have already reached the numbers spoken about by Harirchi, but even by the regime\u2019s official death toll, Coronavirus has killed more Iranians that the eight-year-long war with Iraq and it is because of the mullahs\u2019 inaction. Even state media and officials have said that this is far from the end with a second spike likely to kill even more people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Governor of Kermanshah said the second peak was already underway and far \u201cworse than the first peak\u201d, while the president of the Medical Sciences University in Kurdistan said the second peak there was \u201ccritical\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of new infections reported across the country over just the previous 24 hours from Saturday to Sunday backs this up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
