Iran continues to hide statistics of the death and infected due to Coronavirus

Coronavirus death toll in Iran exceeds 166,300.

Sadly, more people have died from Covid-19 in the last 24 hours than at any time during the pandemic. Over 166,300 have died in 46 cities across Iran, according to data obtained by the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). As has been typical during the whole period of the pandemic in Iran, government figures are way below the true number at 45,738 fatalities.

Tehran, at 41,021 deaths and Isfahan at 9,940 have the two highest city death tolls across the country.

According to the Health Ministry, there were 483 deaths on Sunday and 13,721 new infections of Covid-19. 5,824 are in ICU.

Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, the Interior Minister is very upset about the fact that the regime’s Covid-19 figures have been ridiculed and exposed as inadequate. “During the past few days that we have launched an initiative to cover each neighborhood, foreign media outlets and dissidents have all been questioning this plan in Iran and citing various evidence and documentaries to claim it will not be effective. They exaggerate even the very smallest issues,” he was reported moaning to state TV.

A cancer surgery specialist, Dr. Sima Mashayekhi, commented on the resignation of the regime’s deputy health minister, Reza Malekzadeh. “The fact that the health minister vehemently defends traditional treatments and stands against the scientific beliefs of his research and technology deputy, who himself is a well-known figure in the international science community, is a big question mark for the doctors’ community and the people who trust the health ministry with their health,” she wrote.
