Day 202 and 203 - #COVID19 in Iran

A brief update, COVID is exploding in the 3rd wave

Picking up from two days ago:

Who am I and why I am doing this?

How do I go about it?

[Current Outlook]
The 3rd wave (Ashura wave) which is mainly due to Ashura ceremonies is fiercely exploding into our face. Not that most official data matters but even those are pointing to a wave probably worse than the 2nd wave (and 2nd wave was worse than 1st).

Qom (1.2M), the original epicentre, has seen an explosion of cases. In a matter of a week or so the admitted cases almost doubled. It is now at 631 compared to <100 after the 1st wave and before the 2nd.

Deputy Health Minister has said that ALL the country is now in status Red. This is unprecedented in both 1st and 2nd wave.

Daily admissions in Tabriz (1.8M) from 40 up to 160.

We have just had warnings from the officials in Khuzestan who experienced a fierce 2nd wave: "Something deeply sad is happening under our eyes.".

Well, same officials promoted Ashura ceremonies... #CrocodileTears

To be honest the news are very depressing in Iran. So let me be brief and leave you with this tonight:

The sentence of amputating 4 fingers of the right hand of three minors for [petty] theft has been upheld in the High Court and to be done.

Speechless.

Back in 1994, a bombing in Mashhad's holy shrine of 8th Shia Imam killed 25 and injured 70.

This bombing was attributed to MEK, a terrorist organisation that back then was reinventing itself as a political opposition.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imam_Reza…

It then, however, turned out to be the work of Islamic Republic's own intelligence ministry. They finally accepted that an "autonomous cell" within the ministry led by Saied Emami had gone rogue and planned and executed the attack.

With that in the back of Iranian minds, terrorist attack on Shah Cheragh shrine in Shiraz was immediately dismissed as the work of the Islamic Republic itself, especially considering the timing (protests).

But it is undeniable that ISIS has claimed responsibility and released 👇

43rd day of #IranProtests following the killing of #MahsaAmini

I am not sure even where to start.

Today, dozens of cities around the world will witness human chains of Iranians extending for miles.

This has been planned for London too, sadly I do not feel well enough to go.

After weeks and weeks of reactive handling of the protests in the hope of them fizzling out, today the regime is planning to use today's burial procession of Shiraz terrorist attack victims to take the initiative back again.

IRGC Commander again declared the end of protests.

As you can see from the images above, even for a neutral event where everyone would condemn such cowardly terrorist attack (and I do too), the regime failed to bring masses to the street.

Believe me I chose busiest pics, check them for yourself.

#BREAKING The country is in turmoil and it feels like the regime is losing the grip - which is not necessarily good news since this might mean we enter a military phase.

People are reported to be in control of Town of Mahabad in Kurdistan

#BREAKING

Inconsistencies around the story on attack to Shah Cheragh in Shiraz have been discovered.

First of all, ISIS statements is dated 30th of Rabi Al-Awwal month yet it has only 29 days! Today is 1st of Rabi Al-Thani

https://twitter.com/AZgeopolitics/status/1585338390735884289?s=20&t=HvCwI-DsGeXRfajg5PxEQA

Funny thing is that taghvim.com website used commonly by Iranians says today is 30th of Rabi al-Awwal. All other calendars say today is 1st of Rabi-ali-Thaani.

It cannot be ISIS!

My Arab followers, can you please tell me what day it is according to Hijri calendar?

Some calendars I found say 28th, some 29th, some 1st ...
