In March 2020, he said, \u2018We shouldn\u2019t make this coronavirus such a big issue\u2019. The regime authorities followed Khamenei\u2019s lead in downplaying the crisis and speaking against vaccination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a stark turn of events, the regime\u2019s supreme leader, appeared on TV on August 11 referring to Covid-19 as a \u2018savage virus\u2019 and stating that it should be the regime\u2019s priority to combat its spread. The question currently stands as to what has made the authorities in the regime change their mind 7 months later on the situation that Iran is facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"The tragedy of Iran coronavirus outbreak is not too big: Ali Khamenei, the regime's supreme leader\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/feQnzo0Qo80?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/human-rights\/iran-covid-19-crisis-mullahs-desperate-struggles-to-avoid-an-uprising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI said<\/a>, \u201cFollowing the major Iran protests in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-november-2019-uprising-and-its-amplifications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> November 2019<\/a>, which rattled the regime\u2019s foundation, Khamenei was desperately awaiting a savior to protect his regime from people\u2019s uprisings. That savior was the coronavirus outbreak, which the regime turned into a major humanitarian crisis by deception and inaction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems that the situation is now out of Khamenei\u2019s hands with the spread of the new Delta variant and the ever-increasing number of deaths. Raisi described the current situation as \u2018undesirable\u2019 in his recent statement. All the while, both of them are still using the pandemic as their ally and tool in their bid to continue with the repression of the citizens of Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI <\/a>said, \u201cThey are afraid of people\u2019s backlash. Videos circulating on social media show a young woman grieving for her husband, saying: \u201cKhamenei burn in hell. You took my dearest from me. I will take revenge.\u201d The Iranian people\u2019s hatred increases parallel with the death and infection rate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The protests that took place in <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2021\/07\/31\/maryam-rajavi-iran-uprising-flares-up-from-the-thirsty-and-suffering-khuzestan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Khuzestan <\/a>in recent weeks, which then spread to many other cities across the country, called for the overthrow of the religious dictatorship, and saw people of all ages chanting \u2018death to the dictator\u2019. At this point, using the outbreak of coronavirus to quell the unrest was a pointless exercise for Khamenei and his regime officials. Raisi, first-hand, felt the wrath of the people during a visit to a pharmacy. He was confronted by one person who questioned why teenagers in the United States were being vaccinated, but no vaccine was available for Iranian citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NCRI said, \u201cThe Covid-19 outbreak is added to other economic and social crises and could spark protests and lead to the explosion of Iran\u2019s restive society.
