Other top officials also have been infected. Pompeo has offered help to Iran concerning the virus but they turned him down. Said it would look bad for their government accepting help from U.S. Iran has highest death rate from virus in the Middle East.

An adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has died from the new coronavirus, as other top officials in the country are confirmed to be infected, according to multiple reports on Monday.

The Iranian Health Ministry recorded 523 new cases in the past 24 hours, bringing the country's known total to 1,501. They mark a 53 percent increase since the day before.

Mohammad Mirmohammadi, 71, was an Expediency Council member who advised Khamenei and settled disputes between him and parliament. COVID-19 has already infected Iran's vice president and deputy health minister.

His death comes after the government on Monday rejected help from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who announced last week the U.S. was concerned Iran may have covered up details on the spread of the virus.

He either had a pre existing condition, bad health, or they just have shitty medical care or all of the above.

It will be funny watching the Filth fawn over this guy, then blame Trump for his death.

Another hero gone for the Left.

I'm sincerely sorry for your loss, guys.

JK, frick him.

I’ll err on the side of tactfulness and say that a lot of what is going on is probably a mix between deep ties with the Chinese and that Iran’s leadership tends to be very old and susceptible to this kind of thing as a result.

Corona has really blown up in Iran.
I wonder if this means that there is a lot more interaction with and assistance from China than either country generally lets on.
I imagine some intelligence analyst is paying close attention to who in the Iran government and military comes down with this....

Typically, even in countries like that, the 1% has access to extremely high quality medical care.
