The Velayat-e Faqih regime has adopted the strategy of mass human casualties to build a barrier against the danger of being overthrown by popular uprisings

The spokesman for the clerical regime’s Ministry of Health today announced 3,574 new infections over the past 24 hours.

This is the highest record since the beginning of the outbreak four months ago. At the same time, state officials and media describe the situation with phrases like “horrifying (news of coronavirus) in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad”, “unbridled outbreak of the coronavirus in Gilan”, “the new wave of the coronavirus in Tehran”, “the tip of the iceberg of the disease in Khuzestan”, “the alarm bell of the coronavirus in Gachsaran”, and “re-imposing the coronavirus restrictions in Kurdistan.”

In such circumstances, Rouhani has once again blamed the people for the new wave, saying, “People and businesses must take serious all instructions and intelligent social distancing. If in any part of the country, people do not take these warnings serious, and the outbreak hits another high, officials will have to re-impose the restrictions. And this would cause trouble for ordinary citizens and inflict serious damages on the economy.” (IRNA, June 4)

All indications are that Rouhani and Khamenei have sent the deprived and hardworking people to the killing fields of the coronavirus by sending them back to work.
As I said on April 5 this year, “The criminal decision by (the regime’s Supreme Leader Ali) Khamenei and (his President Hassan) Rouhani to order the people back to work will result in countless victims. Rouhani’s directive to resume ‘business and economic activities’ endangers the health of millions of Iranians… Instead of providing the minimum means of subsistence to the Iranian people by using the funds in economic entities controlled by Khamenei and IRGC, which have been stolen from the Iranian nation in the first place, the mullahs’ regime is sending the Iranian people to the altar of Coronavirus. Incompetence, pilfering, and tremendous class differences under the ruling theocracy aggravate the scope of the catastrophe every day.”

Today, after two months, everyone can see that the Velayat-e Faqih regime has adopted the strategy of mass human casualties to build a barrier against the danger of being overthrown by popular uprisings. Buy this barrier will one day collapse and come down on its head.
