FOX: An adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has died from the new coronavirus, as other top officials in the country are confirmed to be infected, according to multiple reports on Monday.
The Iranian Health Ministry recorded 523 new cases in the past 24 hours, bringing the country’s known total to 1,501. They mark a 53 percent increase since the day before.
Mohammad Mirmohammadi, 71, was an Expediency Council member who advised Khamenei and settled disputes between him and parliament. COVID-19 has already infected Iran’s vice president and deputy health minister.
His death comes after the government on Monday rejected help from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who announced last week the U.S. was concerned Iran may have covered up details on the spread of the virus. read more
They should call a high-level meeting to get everybody infected.
That will certainly bring about a regime change.
Just don’t try to give it to anyone else IRAN.
Any death is sad but I’ll not cry for you…
These people would kill us if given a chance, lets not risk our people on this dead end.
Calling BS on this.
It’s a long time overdue reckoning.
I’ll take what is a good start for a thousand Alex
Because the muslims in Iran have been licking door knobs and icons saying they’re not scared of viruses, ‘come at me, bro’, because, islam. They are literally (used in the proper term) asking for it.
@MJA – exactly my thought. Hope they ‘prove to the world’ that they aren’t afraid of any little virus! And I’m sure a lot of Iranians under their rule feel the same!
So wonder who they’ve had contact with from CHINA?
But y’all keep licking your idols…
“As Allah wills…”. Haven’t we heard that before somewhere?
Goats must be super carriers.
@Extirpates:
How ’bout some really, really holy place with lots of lickable really, really holy relics? And then a communal meal where they all use their (right) hands to grab food out of big bowls. Top it all off with a group hug and kiss, then walk home holding hands.
There is a God, and he is definitely not on their side.
Now go lick a holy shrine or something!
@Uncle Al: Not to mention the five-times/day, face-to-butt, East-facing prostration on the prayer rugs.
Why didn’t the kid in the well save them?
HA HA HA. Does that sound cruel?
Yep, it sounds cruel.
Yep it sounds cruel
And I don’t care
Yep it sounds cruel
And I don’t care

Ayatollah has gone away.
I knew there had to be a silver lining to this Coronavirus cloud.
