"The US healthcare system is incapable to deal with the spread of the Coronavirus; however, this problem doesn't make us happy because we want to witness every country's progress in the medical sector," he added.

"Now the reality is getting clear in the US, and it is only the US government that has the authority to publish the latest statistics of coronavirus toll," Raisi noted.

He went on to say if the US officials are worried about humanitarian issues, they should lift the sanctions against Iran.

"The move would surely help Iran in fighting with coronavirus," Raisi underlined.
