In the latest update by Iranian Health Ministry on Thursday no COVID-related deaths were reported over the past 24 hours.
It is the first zero daily death toll since the outbreak of the pandemic in the country in early 2020.
Iran’s Health Minister Bahram Einollahi issued a message in which he hailed the zero daily COVID death toll after the country’s 2 year and 100 days of fight against the pandemic.
Bahram Einollahi said that Iran witnessed its first day without any COVID-related deaths while high death tolls are reported in the United States and Europe.
He congratulated Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and the whole Iranian nation on this achievement.
He called on the Iranian nation to observe the health protocols until the country celebrates the end of the pandemic.
Coronavirus figures kept declining in Iran thanks to the government’s mass vaccination campaign. So far, 64,550,043 people have received the first dose of the COVID vaccine, 57,866,919 people the second dose and 27,562,033 people the third dose, and the total number of vaccines injected in the country reached 149,978,995 doses.
Coronavirus and US Sanction against IRAN
Iran has been battling one of the deadliest outbreaks in the world, with the crippling sanctions slapped on the country by the US significantly hampering the country’s efforts to rein in the spread of the virus and provide vaccines from other countries.
The sanctions were imposed by the administration of former President Donald Trump under a “maximum pressure” campaign and have been maintained by the current administration of Joe Biden, which has refused to soften the bans to ease pandemic-related hardship on Iranians.
Iranian officials have described the sanctions as “economic terrorism” and “medical terrorism” for their deadly impact on ordinary people.
The bans, however, backfired and helped the Islamic Republic rely on its own medical and pharmaceutical capacities to develop domestically-manufactured anti-COVID vaccine, so much so that the country’s health experts rose through the ranks and promoted Iran as one of the few exporters of the coronavirus jabs.

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Tuesday endorsed the decree of Ebrahim Raisi as the next President of Iran.
Based on article 110 of the Iranian constitution, the endorsement of the presidents’ decrees is among Supreme Leader duties.
The Late Founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini confirmed three presidents and Ayatollah Khamenei has confirmed four others so far. Raisi is the fourth president-elect, who is being confirmed by the Supreme Leader. The Leader himself was the last president, who was confirmed by late Imam Khomeini as president.
The various confirmations of presidents are proof to the fact that the Islamic Republic is based on Islamic laws and the votes of the people. In all confirmation texts recited by Imam Khomeini and Ayatollah Khamenei, the expression of “confirming people’s vote” comes before “appointment as President.”
Prior to the endorsement ceremony Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli presented a report of the process of holding the 13th presidential elections.
Leader urges formation of new cabinet ASAP

It is important that an all-out effort is needed to narrow down the time period, Ayatollah Khamenei said, adding that with the help of the almighty God, the job will be done and progress will be made.
There is a piece of necessary advice, which is the acceleration of forming a new government because the current situation of the country does not allow any delay, the Leader said, noting that the honored president should speed up offering his proposed ministers to the parliament and the revered lawmakers should accelerate endorsing the cabinet picks and of course they are expected to comment frankly on the proposed ministers to form the new government sooner.
Pointing to President Raisi’s communication with ordinary people as a good opportunity to find out day-to-day problems, the Leader asked Raisi to utilize the elite’s expertise as well.
Fortunately, Raisi reiterated that he will rely on the principle values of the Islamic Revolution, including justice and the fight against corruption, which is a correct path, the Leader mentioned.
Supreme Leader also stated that every economic or non-economic move should be part of a scheduled program to guarantee progress in the country.
Ayatollah Khamenei thanked God for the opportunity that the Iranians could cast their vote during the 13th presidential election to show the importance of religious democracy and the fact that the Iranian people firmly responded to the enemies’ plots.
The shift of power is promising because many new officials will take power and fresh enthusiasts especially the youths will find the opportunity to collaborate, the Leader added.

He made the remarks during his first press conference on Monday following his victory in the election.
Answering the question “what do you have to say to the US and Europe?”, the President-elect said he frankly advised the US to return to the JCPOA and fulfill its commitment because this is the demand of the Iranian nation.
He also said that the Iranian nation conveyed a message of unity and solidarity via their participation in the June 18 presidential elections.
“We emphasize that the US government should be sincere towards its commitments while noting that the regional and missile issues are not negotiable,” Raisi added.
During the remarks, Raisi also said the massive turnout of the elections happened despite the heavy psychological warfare by the enemies who tried to discourage people.
He said people queued to cast their votes in ballot boxes for hours despite their unhappiness about certain economic conditions.
The President-elect further stressed that people voted for change in this presidential election and said their presence sent out different messages.
He said the votes conveyed a message of national unity and solidarity and also the need for a change in their economic situation and living conditions.
They also called for fighting corruption, poverty, discrimination, and, in one word, administering justice for all walks of life.
