TEHRAN — Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has prohibited the import of American and British coronavirus vaccines to Iran, saying if the Americans were able to produce vaccines they weren’t in such dire circumstances.
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran’s Supreme Leader on Friday banned the government from importing COVID-19 vaccines from the United States and Britain, labelling the Western powers “untrustworthy”, as the infection spreads in the Middle East’s hardest-hit country.
In a live televised speech, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei raised the prospect of the two Western countries, long-time adversaries of the Islamic Republic, possibly seeking to spread the infection to other countries.

One critical omission, Boss, the old guy has, among other things, allah on his side, if not the stage crew. That stage is looking a bit long in the tooth...like it's user in the accompanying photo.
Its all about the symbolic Great Satan, Like most leftists and dictatorships, they do not care about their leadership.

Absolutely fine with me, that's more doses available for us here in the UK.
Good luck with the Sino vaccine with 73 side affects already known. It's all yours.
Make sure you get plenty of Sputnik 2 while you are at it...
