The regime in #Iran is to blame for the horrific coronavirus outbreak in this country. @JZarif, Tehran's apologists/lobbyists and pro-appeasement voices, blame U.S. sanctions. That is simply not true.
. @A_Jafarzadeh
The Iranian opposition coalition NCRI has compiled frequent reports on the #coronavirus epidemic in #Iran.
Latest death toll in Iran has surpassed the 22,000 mark.
. @A_Jafarzadeh
#Coronavirus entered Iran through three channels
-Mahan Air flights from China
-Chinese religious students & tourists in Qom, central Iran
-Chinese tourists visiting northern #Iran provinces, especially Gilan & Mazandaran
. @A_Jafarzadeh
The priority for the Iranian regime is not the people of Iran. The mullahs have ordered people back to work despite the #coronavirus epidemic. This is a crime against humanity.
The regime seeks to remain in power & needs money to fund its terror groups.
. @A_Jafarzadeh
The regime in #Iran is exploiting the country's #coronavirus deaths to claim U.S. sanctions are to blame.
This is an utter lie.
Iran's dictator @khamenei_ir has hundreds of billions of dollars at hand. The IRGC has a massive economic empire.

#Iran's entities, including the SETAD, Astane Quds Razavi, The Mostazafan Foundation & the Khatam al-Anbiya Construction HQ (of the IRGC) are receiving massive of funding, including hundreds of billions of resources.

All the while, ordinary Iranians are suffering
. @A_Jafarzadeh
The regime is playing the sanctions game while food & medical are not sanctioned. #Iran is looking for sanctions to receive cash, not medicine or humanitarian assistance. Tehran already rejected help from the outside.
The regime expelled Doctors Without Borders.
. @A_Jafarzadeh
Anyone seeking to provide help for the Iranian people should focus on sending such aid directly to the people of #Iran and not through the regime.
Dr. Firouz Daneshgari
The regime in #Iran is focusing on lies, deception & not providing necessary aid. WSJ noted that the regime's official death toll is 5 times smaller than true figures.
Much of the int'l aid provided to Iran was immediately sent by the IRGC to Iraq & Lebanon.
Dr. Firouz Daneshgari
Support to #Iran should go directly to the people. Otherwise the Iranian regime's IRGC will use for its own purposes.
I fully support U.S. President Donald Trump's sanctions targeting the Iranian regime.
. @amsafavi
The regime in #Iran will not announce the true death toll (+22,000 as of Apr 8) knowing it will result in a massive social backlash inside the country.

@A_Jafarzadeh
Tehran plays 2 games:
-One of being in control inside the country
-Zarif & apologists blame sanctions
. @A_Jafarzadeh
#Iran's regime is threatening both the Iranian people by ordering people back to work while also accepting tourists from abroad to claim everything is under control.
This is a grave crime against both Iranians & people across the globe.
. @amsafavi
While some claim relieving sanctions now will help #Iran's regime address the #coronavirus, the Obama admin released $150 bn in credit & $1.7 bn in cash under the 2015 nuclear deal. None of that money was used for the benefit of the Iranian people.
Dr. Daneshgari
#Iran has yet to reach the peak. The regime is lying about its figures. Any stats reported by the regime should be multiplied by five.
On-the-ground reports are atrocious. Hospitals do not have resources. Iran's death toll per capita may be first in the world.
. @A_Jafarzadeh
Other countries are reporting their numbers as a curve. #Iran, however, is reporting its stats in linear fashion, revealing the political nature behind these daily announcements.
Remember, the regime has lies about its nuclear program, missile development and ...
. @A_Jafarzadeh
The regime in #Iran is using this pandemic to secure its rule in power. Tehran is specifically concerned about social unrest. The Iranian people has not forgotten about the Nov 2019 uprising crackdown & will not forget the regime's crimes during this pandemic.
