DUBAI: Iran on Sunday announced a 42 per cent turnout in its parliamentary election, the lowest rate since the 1979 Islamic revolution, while its top leader said Tehran's enemies played up the new coronavirus threat to dissuade people from voting.
The final results, announced by the Interior Ministry, showed big gains by hardline loyalists close to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the last say on all state matters. Khamenei, who on Friday said that voting was"a religious duty", blamed the low turnout on the"negative propaganda" about the new coronavirus by Iran's enemies.
Iran government back with their bull again. I legit think the Iranian government themselves are more dangerous and lethal than the Corona virus.
