As much of the world is slowly moving close to an end to COVID-19 with either producing or ordering doses of coronavirus vaccines, Iranians seem to have a longer way ahead before making it to the other side of the bridge.
From the very onset of the pandemic back in late February, officials in Tehran have denounced US “medical terrorism,” a term they apply to a series of sanctions on medical supplies and pharmaceuticals. They argue that through such measures or pressure on other countries, Washington is hampering the fight against the pandemic in the Islamic Republic. The United States, on the other hand, says Iran’s medical sector has been exempted from sanctions.
