Iranian health ministry spokesman Kianush Jahanpur on Sunday criticized Chinese government statistics on the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, appearing to blame those statistics for other countries’ slow response to the emerging pandemic.
“It seems statistics from China [were] a bitter joke, because many in the world thought this is just like influenza, with fewer deaths,” Jahanpur said during a video conference in remarks translated by Radio Farda. “This [impression] were based on reports from China and now it seems China made a bitter joke with the rest of the world.”
Jahanpur added, “If in China they say an epidemic was controlled in two months, one should really think about it.”
The remarks caused a spat with Chinese officials, with China’s ambassador to Iran saying the country should ” show respect to the truths and great efforts of the people of China.” Jahanpur took to Twitter to criticize Chinese statistics yet again, but subsequently offered praise of China, an ally of Iran.
“The support offered by China to the Iranian people in these trying times is unforgettable,” Jahanpur wrote on Monday.
While Iran has reported over 60,000 cases of coronavirus with more than 3,700 deaths as of Monday, U.S. officials believe the extent of the outbreak is much wider than the government has revealed. In late February, Iranian parliament members criticized their own government for concealing “horrific numbers” of deaths in the country.
If you look at the article he's not criticizing China. He's saying that people saw that China was able to contain it and it gave them a false sense of security because they failed to consider the extent of Chona's containment, tracing, and medical resources. He's arguing that we can't just look at China and assume things will get better with half-assed measures.

删吧，我看帖子从来是看内容，只要帖子好，内容是正常人理解范围，管它是轮子发，还是港独发
第一个对中国禁止入境的是朝鲜
第一个对中国封锁边境的也是朝鲜，靠近边界的可能会被枪击，丹东地区要求边民不要靠近边界，停止鸭绿江捕鱼
中共就是只敢怼那些讲理的国家
三胖只会顾从自身安全出发，站队分分钟的事。
中國絕對不会赔

是的 哈哈 我在ins上看到过伊朗人说中国人民和伊朗人民都是被邪恶的领导人统治
开明国家谁敢跟你玩儿，一块往死路上奔啊
一个偷鸡摸狗的国家怎么可能找正直的国家做朋友
大撒币只要资金一断，非洲兄弟翻脸也就分分钟的事儿。
驱逐 的应该是很小一部分
大部分是拒绝入境，签证拒绝续签这样的
什么时候都少不了wm 来露丑
廊坊监狱的这位好辛苦，祝早日立功减刑获释。
其他国家被厉害国插刀也不少吧。好在厉害国不是真的那么厉害，不然世界遭殃。
这个woyaoshou 可能是产后抑郁
因为川普要中国趴好，按正确姿势被美国中出。中国彻底完蛋了就没有中等强度体育运动的乐趣了。伊朗中出不了任何国家，只好说事实，站队等索赔
这人神经病吧
臭气相投
可惜大多数人不明白
