Great article explaining Covid medicine/immunizations are there for the taking if Iran would simply spend the money.  And U.S. sanctions are not hindering Iran in any way.  They just want the world to think the U.S. is being cruel to Iranian citizens and blocking those persons from life-saving medicine.  See “Iran has route to obtain COVID-19 vaccines despite sanctions,” Jon Gambrell, Times of Israel, December 19, 2020.

“The UN “takes seriously” the travel restrictions and arguments of the “two Missions” that say they are hindered in their functions, the text added.”  This is categorically untrue.  UN delegations like to have all diplomats have freedom to visit receptions and events in NYC.  Again, categorically, Iran and Russia’s staffs are not hindered by visa or travel restrictions—they can do their job.  See “UN Calls For Lifting Restrictions On Iran Diplomats,” Radio Farda, December 19, 2020.

“The United States has imposed sanctions on two Iranian judges whom it accuses of having punished Iranian citizens and dual nationals for exercising their freedoms of speech and assembly, the U.S. Treasury said on Thursday. The judges, Abolghassem Salavati and Mohammad Moghisseh, “oversaw the Iranian regime’s miscarriage of justice in show trials in which journalists, attorneys, political activists, and members of Iran’s ethnic and religious minority groups were penalized for exercising their freedom of expression and assembly and sentenced to lengthy prison terms, lashes, and even execution,” the Treasury said in a statement.”  See “U.S. Imposes Sanctions On Two Iranian Judges For ‘Oppression’,” Reuters, Radio Farda, December 19, 2020.

“While 70 countries improved their human freedom ranking in the past year, Iran remained in the 154th place among the 162 countries in the Human Freedom Index (HFI). The index which measures personal, civil and economic freedom at a global level, covers areas such as rule of law, security and safety, size of government, property rights, religion, civil society and expression.”  See “Iran Still Amongst Lowest In Human Freedom Index,” Radio Farda, December 19, 2020.
