: at least 70,000 infections and more than 4,300 dead — and those official figures are almost certainly too low.Advertisement
But U.S. sanctions don’t just prevent Iran from selling oil, its only major source of foreign income. They don’t only stop Iran from buying weapons or nuclear technology. “The rules are complicated, and businesses that run afoul of them can incur huge penalties,” Richard Nephew, who helped administer the system during the Obama administration, told me.
And for most international banks, shipping companies and insurers, humanitarian shipments to Iran are too small to be worth the risk. Special permission is required to export oxygen generators and full-face respirators, equipment often needed for intensive care of COVID-19 victims, because they could potentially be used for nonmedical purposes.There’s an easy way the Trump administration could ease those problems without bolstering the Tehran regime: Make the existing rules for humanitarian shipments clearer and easier to use.last week by 24 former U.S.
“America remains the world’s leading light of humanitarian goodness [in] this global pandemic,” Pompeo said last week.
No take care of our country first. We are already
Nah.
We should help Americans first. Can't help others until we are completely taken care of.
We need help in our country first.
No. Whenever we have offered help they have refused and been pretty nasty about it. Let John Kerry and the other slimy people who have tried to make deals with Iran behind America's back help their masters in Iran on their own dime.
As opposed to helping Americans? Which of course he is not doing anyway.
HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Iran lied to it’s own people and deceived them about this virus
Are you f-ing serious? The country that chants death to America needs help, our CA senator & you say we need to help. No! They had enough help under Obama. Where are there pallets of money? You should be ashamed to even write this. AmericaFirst We need to help our own!
Sorry, did I read this correctly? To help the ill-wishers of the Americans, while the Americans die from the disease?
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Trump offered help. They said no.
Doesn't Iran house terrorist ni**as? Nah no help
They can buy it with the billions Obama paid them in cash.
How about China should help?
Iran needs to stop its terrorism in the Middle East
Yes, totally I agree US lend helping hand during crisis. Though window for gesture of goodwill has passed.
Then again, Trump sent over a hundred failed ventilators to California, so don't ask Trump for help. Invite Trump to Iran. Promise him a golf course deal with Caspian beach front
Nope. Just more laundering money for the DS. But, LATimes gotta keep shilling for China...
No. He shouldn’t.
Sorry buddy. You dumb.
LA Times stop being their representative. Iran can take care of their people. If they stop using their money on the military to attack other countries and use it for their people or is LA Times that corrupt already.
Please just close your newspaper. Next they will be asking Trump for a bailout.
Russia should help. Putin can do it. He's already done to Italy.
They should use the 150 Billion dollars Obama sent to buy medical supplies.
What about China? Russia?
He has offered, they wont accept. Its all he can do.
😂😂😂😂 Fuk Iran !!!! Iranian IranCoVidTruth
We as humans on earth should help each other.
Or not
Screw Iran! We’ve got our own problems!!
So we’re to take what little supplies we have and what money we borrowing from our grandchildren, and give it to a government that calls us satan, kills our people, and wants us all dead?
Your writers prove again they’re scum of the earth.
Iran first must give up nuclear, and start to make bed factory.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Largest sponsor of terrorism and they have been offered medical supplies. They want cash.
He actually offered to help them weeks ago. More than once. Complete clowns running a major newspaper sewing disinformation and spreading their agenda.
As humans, particularly in these times, we have an obligation to help all of those in need as much as we can without regard to political or religious differences.
Yes let’s help a terrorist nation.
Are you kidding me! 🤣🤣 I guess they’re letting anyone write articles now? Bad
How about having them stop lobbing mortars and firing missiles at our compounds in Iraq, for starters?
You tell us we dont have enough for ourselves.
No chance
Yeah you get right on that LA Times. I expect to see you at the top of the list for financial aid. 😉
Optional...
Expecting decency and human kindness from Trump is a losing proposition.
Nope, Obama gave them 60 billion and they used that money to fund terrorism all over the globe. When Trump put an end to that ISIS was destroyed in less than a year.
Ugh definite no!
Iran shall not accept help from the great Satans Trump, America, Israel or its people. Satan's help gives birth to more Satans and Iran does not need that.
I thought we had a shortage here in the US? Why would we help a country like Iran when we have enough issues to deal with here.
Hahah..you should help .and LA times needs a real reporter..
Trump would never perform a humanitarian act, for another country. Ever.
No
America’s issue is with the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. There are moderates living in Iran that could see this goodwill gesture as a different view point than what their government is telling them.
Use the money the pos Obama gave them
This must be a parody account. Yeah it has to be
He won’t but China will. Again America loses out! Diplomacy especially in hard times goes a long way. He is into bullying and they not gonna take that!🤔🥴🌹
Okay, he should ask first 😏
so trump got crapped all over b/c the admin. sent med. supplies to china, and gets criticized by the LAT here b/c the admin. HASN'T sent them to iran, who's just as much of an adversary (atleast militarily) as china is. ok.
No - Iran can help itself
Rofl. Financing your enemy... just like conman from Kenya did
