You have to kidding me .... Iran credibility ... I think not!!

Hate to say it I agree completely

That's all you can call the Chinese Covid-19 figures, a 'Joke'! Respect to the Iranian official, for stating the truth!!!

Supreme Leader: 'Dude, where else we gonna sell our oil... to the Great Satan?' Jahanpour: 'My bad, I'll be more clever in my ridicule.' Later that day - “We should also see the glass half full. At the very least, we all decided that we had to respect principles of diplomacy.”

He’s not the only one thinking it

He’s correct. We’ve all underestimated this virus from the very beginning becuz of the misinformation given by China and released by WHO.

The Islamic regime has forced him to step back of his tweet. It’s obvious that China is laying about cases who been affected by.

What happens in china stays in china

من به عنوان یه ایرانی میگم گه خورد

I mean... to be fair he’s probably not wrong ....
