Iranian religious official interpreted Khamenei's speech about the outbreak of the virus: "The demons about whom Khamenei spoke about Jews and Zionists"
Iran blames Israel and the United States for designing and inventing the Corona virus, the TV network Al Arab reports today.
The supreme leader of the Islamic Republic, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, initially said the outbreak of the virus was "not so great." However, as the outbreak got worse in the country, senior government officials began to accuse the US and Israel of spreading the Corona virus.
On March 22, Khamenei said in a speech that Iran would not receive any US assistance against the Kornese virus, as it was "accused of producing the virus." Khamenei also spoke of "demons" who conspire against Iran on live television. That part of his speech was dropped From state news agencies: "There are enemies who are demons, and there are enemies who are human beings and they help each other. The intelligence services of many countries are cooperating with each other against us, ”Khamenei said.
Khamenei's official website hosted senior cleric Ahmad Abdi, a few days after the speech, and Abdi was asked to interpret the phrase "demons" said by Khamenei. "There is no doubt that the Jews, especially the Zionists, are responsible for such supernatural things," Abdi commented. "They are known to work with the demons and the devil. Their spy agencies, like the Mossad, are also involved, and there is a lot of evidence."
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of Iran's Houthi militias in Yemen, also accused the US and Israel of being behind the outbreak of the virus, "for profit", he said. "The Zionist lobby may have spread the virus and created a vaccine to treat it for profit. Huge. It is known that in the past, American companies created an epidemic after preparing a vaccine for selling it in very large quantities, ”he added.
Iranian MP Golmali Jafrazadan Manevdi was one of the first regime officials to link the outbreak of the Corona virus to the United States and Israel, tweeting: "The outbreak of the Corona virus is a form of biological attack from America and the Zionist regime."
It should be noted, though, that Iranian news agencies publish dozens of "reports" stating that the US and "Zionists" are behind the outbreak of the Corona virus, the same media also enthusiastically reported the impact of the Corona epidemic on the Israeli economy, and they frequently update the number of Corona patients in Israel. .
