@JZarif Simple questions for Zarif:

-Did "sanctions" prevent Iran’s regime from stopping Mahan Air flights to/from China?

-Did "sanctions" prevent Iran’s regime from quarantining Qom & other COVID-19 hotspots?

#Iran
#COVID2019
@JZarif Two simple questions:
Why are you exporting masks?
Why don't you send them to Iran's hospitals?

Bushehr airport, southern #Iran
Voice says these boxes are filled with masks for export out of Iran (most likely by the IRGC).
#CoronavirusOutbreak
@JZarif Simple question for Zarif:

Why did #Iran just spend $67 million redecorating the Zeynab Shrine in Damascus, Syria?

Shouldn't that money be used to provide for the Iranian people during the #COVID19 outbreak?
@JZarif Simple question for Zarif:

The regime ruling Iran didn't have a problem in providing 200 million euros for the IRGC Quds Force, a terrorist-designated group.

And they don’t have money for the people?

@JZarif Simple question for Zarif:

If Iran is suffering from sanctions, how do you explain this warehouse full of supplies?

@JZarif Simple question for Zarif:

The regime in #Iran, that you represent, is also asking for a $5 billion loan from the IMF.

Why should the int'l community trust Tehran when according to your own senior official 1 billion euros for essential goods were "lost"?

 @SenSanders is claiming U.S. sanctions are the cause of the coronavirus epidemic in #Iran.

This is a lie & Sen. Sanders is pushing a known talking point of @JZarif & Tehran apologists/lobbyists.

This thread will shed light on the truth by asking simple questions.

 #Iran’s coronavirus epidemic
A month after the first two official COVID-19 deaths in Iran, it is obvious that we would not be here if the city of Qom—Iran’s COVID-19 epicenter—were quarantined.
Who objected quarantining Qom?

A morgue in Qom👇
2)
 -Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei: “Now let’s not exaggerate this issue.”

-President Hassan Rouhani: “We are not quarantining neighborhoods or cities.”

-Health Minister Iraj Haririchi: “Quarantining is practice of before World War I.”
3)
 Next question:
Why did not quarantine Qom? Is it an unscientific method?

Senior official in Qom, central #Iran
"We consider this sacred shrine as the House of Cures."

No. Shrines provide huge profits for the regime.

 Iranian National Convicted For Scheme To Evade U.S. Economic Sanctions By Illicitly Sending More Than $115 Million Through The U.S. Financial System

Ali Sadr Hasheminejad sought to illegally funner more than $115 mn to #Iran's regime.
justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/i…
2)
 US prosecutor Michael Krouse moved to preclude two expert witnesses for Hasheminejad, among them a proposed testimony from @tparsi on ‘de-risking’ because neither of these witnesses were qualified to discuss the concept.
maltatoday.com.mt/news/court_and…
3)
 Krouse said Parsi had never worked for a bank or in bank compliance, nor had he published any articles or conducted any scientific studies about “de-risking”.

Me:
The fact that Parsi, founder of @NIACouncil, is involved in this case shows its importance for #Iran's regime.

#Iran's leader has started his speech in Tehran Friday prayers, leading the prayers for the first time after 8 years.
#Iran's leader says that two days of "funeral ceremony of #QasemSoleimani" & "firing missiles at US base" #AinAlAsad are "days of God" & "turning points" in history.
#Iran's leader: What happened that the Zionist media empire in all the world wanted to blame #QasemSoleimani for terrorism [after he was assassinated]? US president & his Secretary of State also did this.

#Iran's Soleimani’s funeral: The hallmark of a theocratic propaganda machine
Taking sheer numbers for legitimacy is an insult to the people of Iran who bravely took part in #IranProtests &lost 1000s of their loved ones.
irannewswire.org/soleimanis-fun…
1. According to #Iran's state-run media, millions of #Iranians attended the funeral of the regime’s top military commander in Tehran. They published pics of Soleimani’s funeral, saying sheer numbers proved ppl supported the regime and its chief terrorist.
2. Mainstream media were quick to push the regime’s agenda. What they fail to mention is the most fundamental feature of the current #Iranian state. It’s a theocracy & dictators are good at forcing the masses to attend propaganda gatherings.
