💔😞🙏🏻

Iran: Oh god the coronavirus! Nature: Oh I’m not done yet...

Aww very sad ☹️ xxx

Holy smokes, first the US sanctions, then the economic hardships, then they shot down a plane, then the coronovirus,now this. This reminds me of the time when the Indonesian or Malaysian president said bad things about Jews and Israel, soon after they were hit with a Hurricane.

Wow just in past hour a 6.0 earthquake follow up

What about those in Iran?

When 5.7 kill that many, one can only blame bad infrastructure.

May Allah save them, and rest the souls of those young innocent children.

Condolences. Everyone repent & receive Jesus as savior. Jesus is coming soon.

🙏

Is Erdogan now going to carry out air strikes on Iran in retaliation?

Got to understand why God is punishing them.
