Iran: Top Muslim cleric says reports that he approved use of Israeli coronavirus vaccine are “absolutely fake news”

Mar 23, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

93-year-old Shirazi reiterated his, and Iran’s policy, of not doing business with “the Zionists,” with a potential Corona vaccine being no exception.

      What will this ayatollah do when his children and grandchildren become infected? He will find any cure available.

      He will become a hypocrite and eat his words … but he may already be used to doing that.

    My fantasy is that Israelis invent a vaccine for C-19 and Islamic countries refuse to use it. Not nice but then neither is Islam.

    The way moslems lie, people should have no difficulty believing this old camel jockey would gladly use an Israeli vaccine, and then lie about it–or say Allah cured him, it’s what moslems do, as we all know by now. (or should)

    Of course not! He’d rather his own people die like flies than owe anything to Jews.

    God, I hate Islam.
