While one after the other, the regime’s officials and specialists report a shortage of beds and hospital facilities and an increase in the number of patients. Rouhani, in his usual brazen claims, said today, “We export ventilators, we are self-sufficient in the production of medical equipment and needs, and are in the process of mass-producing Iranian Coronavirus vaccine.”
