“And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart about all those one will be questioned.” Al Quran, chapter no 17 verse no 36
Yes, it is true that Novel Coronavirus has claimed 429 lives in Iran after its outbreak in Islamic city of Qom and Iran has confirmed 10075 cases of Coronavirus infection so far and medical officials have assured that Iran will, in the near future, rein in the spread of a flu like virus which originated from China. That the condition of most of the patients diagnosed with the new virus have recovered 3276, till 12 March, is a sufficient proof of this.
But, may I know what regime change slogans and other anti-Iran slogans like Death to Mullahs, end to Islamic System, Death to Iran has got to do with Covid-19? Shall I consider it as a sympathy, solidarity, support or antagonism, mercilessness or hatred? I know that the thousands of US, Israel and Saudi backed lobbies are trying to create panic, confusion and despair in Iran by circulating baseless & fake news stuff and they are actively working on the orders of their masters to defame Islamic Republic.
Coronavirus is a natural disaster, but what agencies, Zionist, Takfirist lobbies, heartless humans are spreading on the social media is a complete shame on humanity. This is a malignant tumor which can’t be removed from their souls and hearts, as their minds are polluted with anti-Iran thoughts.
The reason is simple: if there were a rapid response to properly quarantined patients in Iran, there would be a lower turnout for the elections that were recently held and this would question the electoral legitimacy that Iran is trying to maintain,” Dr. Norman Fried, medical expert and professor at Columbia University, told Fox News.
Knowing that it is a natural disaster or may be a biological war against Islamic Republic this so called medical expert, Dr Norman Fried attacks Iran. Covid-19 has affected almost all continents, but why to target Iran alone, which is 4th most affected country by Corona?
To all the Indians and citizens of other countries
Nobody has issued a statement that “everything is normal in Iran”, “nor are we eligible to do so as we are not any authority, nor are we any news agency to publish such statements as accused by some students in their posts, statuses, comments. But I would like to inform your good self that nobody has asked any Kashmiri, Indian student studying in Iran to evacuate hostels.
And when some students, activists expose those who are trying to create mass hysteria & a panic like situation by exaggerating the facts about the ongoing situation after Coronavirus outbreak in Qom the rumor mongering groups and their masters call them, “Iran lover maniacs.”
To media and other propaganda organizations
Not Iranian health minister but his deputy got infected? Get your facts checked before you make any statement, it is not the mayor of Qom city who made false claims of 50 deaths but a law maker from the city of Qom and if we ask you to correct these things, “we become Iranian agents?
The Government declares a State of Emergency when it believes a disaster has occurred or may be imminent that is severe enough to require state aid to supplement local resources in preventing or alleviating damages, loss, hardship or suffering which Enables government officials to take extra measures to protect the public. Trigger anti-price gouging laws. Seek state or federal funding aid for disaster response if it is warranted.
For medical and engineering students
Who has caged you? Who has arrested you? Aren’t you safe there? Are you running out of essentials services? I ask these questions to the students studying in Iran in different universities. They said that there is nothing like that all this anxiety and uneasiness in us is because of the rumors, panic created by some rumor mongering agencies. You keep saying
that Iranian media is lying? Iranian authorities are hiding the facts? And if we respond to your false claims, you call us Iranian puppets. It is your government, concerned authorities who will decide about the evacuation process not Iran and as per logic if your countries allow or order their respective airlines to fly from Iran to Delhi, Iran won’t stop you, they even issued you exit visas. What else do you expect?
Iranian deputy health minister was diagnosed with Coronavirus and was taken into quarantine like anyone else? Why should they (Iranians) hide this news. There is nothing to hide and all the Iranian media outlets carried this news in their respective newspapers and media channels. For your kind information unlike ministers in our part of the world, Iranian ministers work on the ground hence high number of top rank officials contracting the infection.
When people heard the news of Corona outbreak in China, everyone was posting stuff like Pray for China, We Support China or if it was any other European country people would have extended their sympathies and so on but when it comes to Iran, enemies of humanity, tyrants, hypocrites chant “Free Iran”, “Regime Change”! Why?
Moreover, it is World Health Organization, which praised the Iran’s action against #Covid-19 , role of Iranian religious leaders in fight against this deadly virus, not me or any pro-Iran platform, but everyone is after Iran, may I know why?
It is important that you remain calm, maintain caution, not fall prey to rumors and stop creating any sectarian issue! National disaster knows no boundaries and doesn’t distinguish between different sects, ethnicities, ideologies, faiths and to fight against it, neither should we!
