🇮🇷🇨🇳 HUGE STORY:
There was a war by words between spokesman of Iran’s Health Ministry Dr Jahanpur and China's ambassador to Iran Amb Chang Hua after the former questioned China’s Coronavirus figures as “a bitter joke”, adding “you must think twice when China says tamed disease in 2 months”
Ambassador Chang Hua answered that Jahanpour better read figures carefully before drawing conclusion and then in Farsi advised the spokesman to respect facts and great efforts of Chinese people. Jahanpour answered that Iran trusts finding of its own medical experts more.
With the continuation of the dispute, HM’s Spokesman Jahanpour backed down & appreciated China for its medial support by tweeting Iranians never forget nations and governments that stood by them at this global pandemic. Iran.
But it wasn’t the end of the saga as member of Health Ministry’s infectious diseases cmte. Minou Mohraz also questioned China’s statistics & reports on Coronavirus. Mohraz says either Coronavirus has had a genetic mutation or China didn’t tell the truth about COVID-19.
Dr. Mohraz who is famous for being an outspoken person, states “we can neither count on China’s statistics about COVID-19 nor accept that it only spread in Wuhan. It seems to be more dangerous & contagious than what reported by China”.
