Iran's supreme leader urges officials to acquire vaccines 'any way possible'
Khamenei called on officials to acquire the COVID-19 vaccine any way they can.
After Iran’s daily death toll from COVID-19 hit record highs for consecutive days, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has done an apparent about-face regarding the acquisition of vaccines.
In a televised address, Khamenei said the coronavirus is the most important issue facing the country. He said daily deaths — numbering above 500 — and tens of thousands of infections are “painful.”
