Iran's Khamenei Bans Import of U.S. and UK Coronavirus Vaccines
(Washington Post) Erin Cunningham - Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Friday he had banned the import of U.S. and British-made coronavirus vaccines, calling them "forbidden." Khamenei suggested that the U.S. and Britain could use vaccines to "contaminate" Iran. In December, the director of Iran's Red Crescent said unnamed U.S. philanthropists had arranged for the distribution of 150,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine in Iran, a move that was cancelled following Khamenei's announcement.
