Another One Bites the Dust: Iranian Top Dude Dead by Coronavirus
The world is getting scarier by the day.
And it is in our best interest to the Almighty we pray.
A Daily Mail UK news report has announced that senior top adviser to Ayatollah Khamenei becomes the first senior Iranian official to die from coronavirus.
Adviser Mohammad Mirmohammadi died at the aged 71 in a Tehran hospital. Iranian media reported that his mother had died of the coronavirus before him as well.
He was a member of the Expediency Council which is hand-picked by Ayatollah Khamenei. The Expediency Council is the bridge between Iran's parliament and the Ayatollah. The Ayatollah is a sort of Islamic priest-king in Iran's theocratic government.
Iran's government has claimed that 66 have died due to the coronavirus. but the opposition group NCRI claims the death toll has risen to 650.
