Iran eyed as pandemic epicenter

"The situation is very difficult; the authorities do not provide the exact figures of the dead," said one 30-something professional in Mazandaran, the third most impacted province. "They have even arrested a staff member who shot film inside a hospital, where you could see it was filled with dead people inside a cellar," said the local. "And the situation is much worse now. Hospitals (everywhere) are at capacity. No one is reporting the real death toll."

Iran's infection and death rates are believed to be far higher than authorities acknowledge, making at least one U.S. expert wonder whether Iran is an epicenter of a pandemic.

"Nobody believes the numbers coming out of Tehran," said Matthew Schmidt, national security and political science expert at the University of New Haven. "It may well be that Iran is now the epicenter of the outbreak. The government has and continues to misreport the number of cases and deaths. But this is due as much to incompetence as a cover-up."

Videos of health care professionals painfully detailing the severity of the problem have also appeared online in recent weeks. In one video that went viral, a young and tearful nurse can be seen begging fellow Iranians to stay indoors, vowing that she had seen dozens die in just one morning as a result of coronavirus.
