The irony:

#Iran's Red Crescent says they're ready to provide assistance to the quake-hit areas in #Turkey & Syria.

Reminder:
After a January 28 earthquake in the city of Khoy, NW Iran, locals remain without any decent aid from Iran's Red Crescent.

They're sending assistance to quake hit areas in Syria

Note:

#Iran is quick in sending humanitarian aid to Damascus after the recent earthquakes that have devastated #Turkey and #Syria.

However, people in the Iranian city of Khoy—hit by a 5.9 magnitude quake on Jan 28—remain without any meaningful aid from their government.

“Any attack on Iran from our enemies, including Israel, will see a response from our many air force bases including Eagle 44,” Iran’s armed forces’ Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri told Iran's official IRNA news agency.
