Elderly people who have experienced World War II say that the Coronavirus outbreak is like a world war because it attacked the whole world. But the war with Coronavirus is more brutal than World War II because in World War II we could go to shelters and escape the German bombing. But, in this war, neither the shelter nor the escape from the cities is useful.
However bad that was, though, an Iranian citizen has said that their situation is even worse. “In addition to the coronavirus”, he said, “we are also dealing with a second Coronavirus called the mullahs, and we have no shelter, and no official is responding to our problems.” In a video clip from his quarantine hideout, the Supreme Leader Khamenei criticized the West and claimed "They failed in management of the Coronavirus outbreak and dealing with it. People in these countries are attacking the stores." "Western failure must be explained to the public," he stressed.
Blaming others serves Khamenei as an excuse and a diversion to avoid being held accountable for the incompetence and mismanagement of the Coronavirus outbreak by the Iranian government. In his video statement, Khamenei deceptively encouraged experts to investigate the Coronavirus vaccine. But two days later, Gilead, an American Pharmaceutical company, and two other institutes announced that their sites had been hacked by Iran.
Meanwhile, a judiciary court announced the detention of two elite students with gold medals from the International Olympiad, accused of protesting and opposing the government, a good indication of Khamenei's cunning strategy. Now, in a simple comparison, while during World War II in London the vast masses of black German bombers and sound of sirens created an atmosphere of fear, in Iran it is the poverty, widespread repression and export of terrorism abroad that has spread its ominous black shadow over Iran itself, the region and the world for over 41 years. 
Even the regime's own media now describes the internal conditions as "a massive flood of hungry people" (Mostaghel May 1), "a tsunami of poverty in 2020" ( Arman April 26) and "economic collapse and then social collapse in the near future" (A regime expert Mahboobfar 2 May 2020).
In other countries, everyone is looking to laboratories to uncover the secrets of Coronavirus and prepare a tool to get rid of and destroy it. But, in Iran, people are not looking for vaccines and laboratories to alleviate poverty and looting by Mullahs! They are looking to brave and agile souls to break out of this cycle and get out of the situation.
Tehran officials have no way out, because in the current situation the Iranian regime has neither the power to open up and change, nor the capacity to change its position on the international scene.
The launch of a satellite into Earth’s orbit by the Revolutionary Guards, which was a surprise to everyone, reflects Tehran’s status. The launch had 2 purposes, first to encourage and galvanize government forces and second to threaten the West, most specifically the United States.
The message of this missile was that “we have reached a new capability with our missile technologies”. By doing so, Tehran wants to create another source of leverage so that it can give less concessions if negotiations are held. For this reason, the regime intends to highlight the military aspect of what it has done, hoping to push back the United States in this way, or to provoke the Europeans and appeasers into calling for concessions to the regime.
Shargh Newspaper wrote "The firing of this ballistic missile at a time when Iran has practically left the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and likely is moving towards high percentage uranium enrichment agenda is a very painful message to Westerners, because simultaneously Iran will have inter-continental ballistic missiles and the potential to build a nuclear weapon, which means the Americans will no longer be able to even verbally threaten Iran forever.”
This is another dangerous game that the regime has been forced to play in the hope that it will buy time with a bluff of show of power so that the Democrats will win the next US election. However, the crisis is so deep that this paradox is almost certainly not going to be able to be solved by the Democrats either.
‘Wonder where Iran got the money to fund such terror weapons?
How is weather in Jeddah?
Imams Obama and Cary
My mom said this is a joke compared to world war II.
I don’t know what old people you know that are saying that it is akin to world war II or worse.
Maybe in a worthless third world country like Iran it is
It’s because a lot of Itanians sided with the Axis.
For sure
