Iran bans COVID-19 vaccines from UK and US, calls them 'untrustworthy'
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei banned the import of COVID-19 vaccines from US and UK, saying they were "completely untrustworthy". "It's not unlikely they would want to contaminate other nations. Given our experience with France's HIV-tainted blood supplies, French vaccines aren't trustworthy either," he added. Iran is the worst coronavirus-hit nation in Middle East with over 12 lakh cases.
