Iran Rejects US Coronavirus Aid Offer by Nobody: 8:52pm On Mar 05, 2020
Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday dismissed a US offer to help the Islamic republic fight its coronavirus outbreak, charging that “vicious” American sanctions are depriving the country of medicine.

Iran has scrambled to halt the rapid spread of the virus that has claimed 92 lives out of 2,922 confirmed infections in the past two weeks.

It has shut schools and universities, suspended major cultural and sporting events, and cut back on work hours.

“Those who have deprived the people of even medicine and food through sanctions, who have done the most vicious things… they appear with a mask of sympathy and say that we want to help the nation of Iran,” Rouhani said, in a clear reference to the United States.

US President Donald Trump had said Saturday he was ready to aid Iran with the virus outbreak if the Islamic republic asked for assistance.

“Our people know well that you are lying,” Rouhani said in response, speaking at the weekly meeting of his cabinet in remarks aired on state television.

Washington pulled out of a landmark nuclear deal and reimposed crippling sanctions on Tehran in 2018.

Humanitarian goods, especially medicine and medical equipment, are technically exempt.

But international purchases of such supplies are forestalled by banks wary of conducting any business with Iran for fear of falling foul of the US sanctions.

Rouhani said the US must first lift sanctions blocking medicine purchases to prove its honest intent to help.

“This is the first step… to free banking relations for purchasing medicine, transferring medicine and shipping medicine and food,” he said.

Why are they so hateful? If Iran were in U.S or Russia's military and/or economic positions, they would have enslaved the known world.

Amerika's “Carrot & Stick” policy, which was modernized by replacing the carrot with “Amerika's Aid” as a reward for being a “good boy”, and then the stick replaced with a mace club to make it more effective when punishing the “naughty boys”.

We have an adage for it in Ijebu: It is called "Aseni Bani Daro".

Diabolical people who afflict a person and then commiserate with the person.

If you're looking for the most poisonous snakes in world, do not waste your time & energy by going into the forest, just go to the "Washington District of Criminals". grin

Amerika & her allies have been helping Iraq combat Terrorism since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, but rather than the Terrorists decreasing in number, they keep growing & waxing stronger.

British Special Forces Caught Dressed As Arab "Terrorists"

British soldiers have been caught posing as Arabs and shooting Iraqis in the occupied city of Basra in southern Iraq. A group of them was caught yesterday by Iraqi police. They were driving an Iraqi car, wearing Arab clothing, and carrying weapons and explosives.

The Iraqi police were patrolling the area looking for suspected "terrorists" or "insurgents", and they noticed that the men were acting suspiciously. Suddenly, without warning, the suspicious men started shooting at people, but the new Iraqi security forces managed to capture some of them before they could escape. Obviously, if these men had not been caught, the mass media would now be reporting the incident as just another attempt by evil "terrorists" to create civil war in Iraq.

There have been a number of incidents in this area and throughout Iraq in which police and civilians have been targeted and killed by "terrorists" or "insurgents". But this is the first time that any of those responsible have been caught in the act, and it is now clear that at least some of them are working directly for the occupying forces, as many Iraqis have openly suspected all along.

A few days ago, in a statement unreported in the corporate mass media, Iran's most senior military official specifically linked the instability in Iraq with agents of the US and its allies: "we have information that the insecurity has its roots in the activities of American and Israeli spies."

The post-war violence in Iraq is always been blamed on "Islamic extremists" or "rival ethnic factions". Yet in the history of the country, nothing like this has ever happened before. The problems began precisely when the US and UK seized control.

The Iraqi police arrested the men and put them in prison. Unfortunately the police never had a chance to question the men and find out exactly what they were doing, because within minutes the UK sent in six tanks and an elite SAS unit to break their terrorists out of jail.

During the illegal prison break Iraqi officials were held at gunpoint, much of the jail was demolished, and all of the other criminals and insurgents were set free. The US and UK do not hesitate to use violence and terror to achieve their objectives, no matter what the consequences.

I'm glad Iran's President Hassan Rouhani is not a novice or JJC to Amerika's lies & deceit. grin

Hear him:

"Those who have deprived the people of even medicine and food through sanctions, who have done the most vicious things… they appear with a mask of sympathy and say that we want to help the nation of Iran,” Rouhani said, in a clear reference to the United States.

There's a reason we call her - The United Snakes of Amerika. grin

Accept any form of aid or military assistance from Amerika at your own peril. grin
