The Iranian regime is doing anything it can to diminish the seriousness of the coronavirus outbreak in Iran.

Last week they were licking the Shia shrine in Qom.

Today the Islamic leader Ayatollah Khamenei called the outbreak a blessing.

Khamenei dismisses #CoronaVirus as "not that big a deal", even calls it a "blessing". Iranians should pray against the virus "as prayer can solve many problems"

Meanwhile the opposition MEK confirms 1000+ #COVID19 deaths in Iran

At least 77 people have died from coronavirus in Iran so far.

The families suffering through this pandemic may think otherwise.
