Why is it that Iranians do not pay attention to actions that minimize transmission...They are highly educated people, the Ad campaign seems good ..young care about their older generation ..so why is it that in many cases they gather and I see no masks ..no distance..I am puzzled....
For the same reason as that which underlies the number of road accidents.

I can't believe the US just abandoned them like this. The least they could have done is leave their airforce in Bagram airbase. The US is still deploying their airforce from bases in the Persian Gulf and aircraft carriers but will it be enough ?
The US messed up by withdrawing their airforce and withdrawing so abruptly in general.
The US abandoned Kabul because it has a revised plan for Afghanistan. Like all their plans in the region, it's designed to be to Iran's detriment. And it's up to Iran to neutralize it.
Washington failed at defeating the Taleban guerilla, that's true. However, now the US regime is trying to push through its nefarious schemes while integrating the new ground reality, that is by abandoning the Afghan government they put in place twenty years ago.
As the situation deteriorates further, it might provide an opportunity for Iran to intervene. Maybe setup a buffer zone or safe haven in the western provinces with Fatimiyoun fighters ? This is probably being debated among Iranian leaders right now. I'm sure that they're watching the developments in Afghanistan with keen interest.
Realistically Iran already has several thousand Fatimiyoun fighters in Afghanistan. There are thousands more Fatimiyoun in Syria and still thousands more in Iran near the Afghan border. If Iran were to support them with drone and initially some missile strikes on Taliban positions, I'm sure that they could sweep the western portion of Afghanistan relatively easily.
For your information, the Hazara heartland is located in central Afghanistan not in the west. The Fatemiyoun cannot take over and hold western Afghanistan. They're just not numerous enough. What they'd be effective at, however, is to provide self-defence for Shia Muslim Hazara communities in case someone attempted to abuse them.
Also, it's not as if Iran is panicking about the arrival of the Taleban, far from it. Follow related news from Iranian media: it's been several years that Iran established bridges to the Taleban, hosted their leaders at meetings in Tehran, while the US regime accused Iran of arming certain Taleban factions against foreign occupation troops.
Then, an anti-Iranian / anti-Shia (ex-)Taleban commander was eliminated a few months ago. It's as much a struggle within the Taleban movement, which is a composite, not a centralized and homogeneous one, as between the Taleban and the Afghan government.
So for Iran, there's no reason to intervene right now.
What confuses me is that there are over 100,000 Afghan security forces. What are they going to do ? Flee ? Surrender ? Die ? Be enslaved ? They have an airforce. They have better weapons and equipment like kevlar vests and helmets.
They lack grassroots legitimacy among the population. They represent a foreign-installed authority. That's why they stand no chance.
The level of corruption and incompetence is really much worst than anyone could have imagined.
To me it didn't come as so much of a surprise. Because US client regimes are probably the most corrupt on the planet.
They did nothing and now they're f
They couldn't do anything. They have always been at the mercy of the US regime. This is why it's so important to preserve national independence; and as far as Iran goes, to sideline and hopefully confine to the trash bin of history the domestic forces which seek to make Iran subservient to Washington again.

People with "delta" variant have 1000 times more virus in their body than the original virus and therefore shed more and hence more contagious
The say normal viruses as they mutate become less harmful like SARS virus...this Covid 19 is acting opposite..it's mutations are stronger than the original..some say that is the indication that it is man made and not natural
Yes, absolutely crucial point here. This category of viruses is not known for mutating into ever more deadly variants. It's a biological anomaly.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if this Covid was artificially synthesized and unleashed upon mankind by the globalist oligarchy. It may be conceived as a trigger for the so-called "great reset" they're planning. This phrase, by the way, was not coined by some lame "conspiracy theorist" on "YouTube" but was developed and publicized by none other than Klaus Schwab, founder and chairman of the globalist World Economic Forum of Davos (which reformists and pragmatist technocrats in Iran, are quite enthused by, as opposed to authentic revolutionaries loyal to the principles of 1979...).
These oligarchs know that the thieving corrupt system of debt-based capitalism with its printing press frenzy, financial bubbles and fiat money is inevitably running into a brick wall at sustained speed, having reached a stage where it will simply collapse if no major corrective measures are taken. Speaking of corrective measures, of course what these cut-throat elites envisage is not a more humane, a more just and a more viable economic system... since this would imply letting go of some of their illegitimately accumulated power. No, they wish to maintain their privileges while refounding the system of exploitation which enabled them to usurp their current positions.
And that in turn, may mean millions if not hundreds of millions or even billions of us "cattle" marked for death. Even a slaughter of this magnitude would not be considered too much of a sacrifice by insane criminals whose hegemonic worldwide rule has caused such unbelievable amounts of suffering and destruction already.
Plus, on the political front they will use this pandemic as a pretext to advance their project for a zionist- / masonic- / bankster-ruled "one world government". Which will imply further transfer of sovereignty from states to supranational institutions, further uprooting of nations and conflation of national identities into a "unified humanity"-type of substitute, as well as dissolution of traditional religions into an artificial ersatz, authority over which will rest with the same globalist oligarchy.
Those Iranians considering themselves as patriots or even as nationalists and who might find this prospect "attractive", ought to understand one thing: should this come to fruition (God forbid), it would mean that Iran will cease to exist as a distinct nation, country, civilization. Plain and simple. You cannot be a patriot, you cannot be a nationalist and cheer for the establishment of a "world government". It's a fundamental contradiction in terms.
And likewise, you should cease supporting or even legitimizing liberals (reformists / centrists) in case you do, because said liberals are agents injected into the political order of the IR and tasked with submitting Iran to the globalist agenda, or at the very least they are misguided independent elements who still embrace this anti-national and non-Islamic agenda.
The same goes for religious Iranians. Only adepts of what Imam Khomeini (rAa) aptly described as American Islam, could possibly subscribe to a project which intends to uproot established religious traditions and amalgamate all faiths into a simplified "Noahide" belief system set up by a power-hungry and oppressive oligarchy.
I hope our beloved Rahbar is well counseled about these things. Right now I see Iran following the general consensus on the Covid crisis (including on the discursive level), and little official statements denouncing the probable sinister plot of herculean dimensions underpinning it. The revolutionary camp needs to speak up.
It's true that patriotic and Islamic-revolutionary Iranian authorities, like everybody else who is not part of nor linked to the globalist mafia, really cannot do much about the sanitary issue, which has to be curbed for starters.
Contrary to some dissident voices (possibly misled by controlled opposition sources), I'm of the belief that the medical aspect of the pandemic isn't entirely a hoax. However, I can also see that this does not look like a natural phenomenon, and we should stop turning a blind eye to the multiple, very real indications pointing to a man-made pathogen generated to fulfill a grand agenda.
Sooner or later though, the devious objectives pursued by the globalist / masonic / zionist / capitalist oligarchy under the pretext of this pandemic, will need to be publicly called out by the revolutionary core of the Islamic Republic.
