As reports revealed that Iran has one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the world, the ayatollahs expelled the team of Doctors Without Borders (MSF). This sudden decision raised skepticism over whether they really intend to fight the virus, or whether they pursue other objectives under the excuse of containing COVID-19?

In this context, a resident of Tabriz, a major city in northwestern Iran, provided a shocking report about the impact of this forgery. “In Sina hospital, eight persons have died of fake methanol poisoning,” the source said. He also mentioned the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)’s role in presenting the fabricated alcohol as a medicine against the  coronavirus . “IRGC agents mix industrial alcohol with bleach to make a white color fluid.

Subsequently, citizens, who don’t have information, buy and use this substance that causes their death,” the Tabrizi resident added. Notably, stats say that thousands of people have been poisoned with this fabricated fluid and hundreds have died across the country so far. Poor people fel...
