Thousands to Attend Terrorist Funeral in Coronavirus-Ravaged Iran
2020-03-25
[BREITBART] Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) hosted a funeral attracting thousands for Hossein Assadollahi,
...whose name does not really translate as Anus of God...
a senior terrorist leader and veteran of the Iran-Iraq war, on Monday.

Photos and video of the ceremony ‐ which attracted notably minimal attention in Iranian state media outlets like PressTV, the Fars News Agency, and others ‐ show mourners tightly packed in public spaces, a prime location to infect a large number of people with a contagious disease. As the world faces a pandemic caused by the Chinese coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
originating in central Wuhan, public health experts have universally agreed that "social distancing" ‐ avoiding contact with individuals as much as possible and abstaining from organizing into large groups ‐ is necessary to slow the rate of infection of the coronavirus so as to not overwhelm the world’s healthcare systems.

Iran’s healthcare system has, by all measures, been overwhelmed for months. While Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
claims only 24,811 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the country and nearly 2,000 deaths, reports citing whistleblowers and dissidents in the country have published evidence suggesting the corpse count is much higher. The National Council of Resistance® of Iran (NCRI), the largest Iranian dissident group, announced on Tuesday that it had documented over 10,500 deaths at the hands of the virus in Iran, citing sources within the country.

The NCRI also noted an increase in the number of arrests of people for "spreading rumors" about the true extent of the outbreak.

The Iranian regime has largely responded to the outbreak by empowering the IRGC, a U.S.-designated terrorist group and not a medical organization, to lead the nation’s coronavirus response. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...
has claimed the Chinese virus is a biological weapon, implying the United States deliberately spread it in Iran. This weekend, Khamenei rejected a U.S. offer of humanitarian aid, partially on the grounds that he claimed America could use the aid to spread more "poison" in the country.

#9  They should have herd immunity soon.

For what's left of the herd. 100K deaths wouldn't really bother them, insh'allah.

#5  The veterans of the 1980s Iran-Iraq war are now in the high risk group for the Wu.

As many as a half million didn't survive that war. Probably a million or so did survive and are still alive.
