US help offer baffles Iran
The offer by the United States to help Iran fight the coronavirus pandemic is strange, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a televised speech yesterday, rejecting the offer. Despite heightened tensions between the longtime foes, Washington has offered humanitarian assistance to Iran while it struggles with the coronavirus outbreak. Iran is the most-affected country in the Middle East with over 1,500 coronavirus deaths and 20,610 infected people. Khamenei said the Islamic Republic had the capability to overcome the crisis.
