RT/Moscow: The US сould be the prime culprit behind the Covid-2019 outbreak that hit China and then Iran, head of its elite Revolutionary Guards claimed, threatening that the virus will eventually be turned against those who unleashed it.

“It is possible that this virus is a product of a biological attack by America which initially spread to China and then to Iran and the rest of the world,” Hossein Salami said on Thursday.

He vowed that Iran would “fight” the virus and cautioned that the illness “will return” to the United States if Washington was indeed responsible for the outbreak.

Though such conspiracy theories have been circulating for a while, there’s still no official proof it could be true.



The Head of Iran’s Civil Defense Organization, General Gholam Reza Jalali, said earlier on Tuesday that media fear-mongering over the new corornavirus in the country bolsters claims that the virus is a biological attack on China and Iran. He said that some reports indicate that it could be a hostile state, but added that his suspicion requires laboratory investigation and a study of the virus genome.

Iran has been one of the countries hit hardest by Covid-19 outside of mainland China where it originated. As of Thursday, the Islamic Republic has reported 3,513 confirmed cases and 107 deaths attributed to the virus. Some 15 of those who have succumbed to the coronavirus died in the last 24 hours, according to Iran’s Health Minister Saeed Namaki.

The country has shuttered all schools and universities until the end of the country’s calendar year on March 20 in an effort to stop the spread of the virus.

On Tuesday, state media announced that the head of Iran’s emergency medical services was being treated for coronavirus. Numerous high-level Iranian officials have fallen ill to the virus. Recently, 23 lawmakers tested positive for the illness in the Islamic Republic.

Mohammad Mirmohammadi, a member of a council that advises the supreme leader, died after falling sick from the disease. His death follows those of two other high-profile Iranians who contracted the virus – a former ambassador and a newly-elected member of parliament.

  1. Iran’s sudden announcement saying that a large number of government officials have become infected, seems to point towards a bio-weapon attack. Instead of buying face masks, people may need to start buying radiation suits. The Last American Vagabond Youtube channel is saying that the first cases appeared in America, not China. Maybe good old American snakes and bats were in on this.

  2. China officially knows this this comes with “made in USA” all over it. Iran is taking up the challenge.

  3. I’m with this idea. The 18 or so varieties have been studied for years. Some patented. The CDC has one such patent even. I imagine many labs and countries were splicing and dicing Coronavirus. Dna specific bio weapons are the norm.
    Good old prince phillip “i want to return if reincarnation exists as a deadly virus to help depopulation “.

  4. If the US introduces a vaccine in a few months you can be sure that they started the development way before the virus appeared.

  5. We know and we know the origin of the primary virus, of the strain. Now this strain has been transmitted through many countries and it is difficult to say that it was transmitted by the USA. To say that it is for example the deep-state is much more inclined to this type of process is more judicious!
