US to Iran: 'No ventilators for you'


US concern for the world wide Clovis-19 pandemic doesn't quite reach Iran. While claiming it has loosened restrictions on importing medical supplies, the US is still bottling up delivery of critically needed full face respirators, ventilators and decontamination units, as well as any medical supplies to Iranian military and police. This becomes a death warrant to Iranians living in the country with the third most worldwide Covid-19 deaths. State Department official Brian Hook said Iranians should not worry: “We are looking at what we can do, but the president right now is focused very much on the American people, but we can do two things at the same time. We’re looking at what we can do to help.”
The answer to that is simple. The US must end its murderous economic sanctions on Iran, which in this potentially catastrophic pandemic, amounts to a despicable war crime against the Iranian people.
