Iran shuns US offer of help to fight Covid-19

摘要

IRAN'S President Hassan Rouhani said the US should lift crippling economic sanctions if it is genuine in its offer of helping the Islamic Republic contain the spread of Covid-19. Rouhani ruled out accepting a US offer of humanitarian assistance as the outbreak continues to spread fast in Iran, which is now one of the worst-affected nations. Iranian authorities said this week that one person is dying from the virus every 10 minutes.
