The pandemic is being manipulated to further entrench sectarian divides Opinion | S_Akbarzadeh
The Covid-19 pandemic calls for urgent regional and international coordination to tackle the spread of infection and protect lives. The rapid spread of the disease has put national health systems in the Middle East under extreme pressure and threatens to have a devastating impact on war-torn societies and the refugee population.
The spread of the disease in Iran was primarily due to negligence and a lack of systemic measures by the authorities, who either did not take the threat seriously or did not wish to affect voter participation in the February parliamentary election adversely. In the absence of self-isolation measures, the virus spread rapidly in the country, now affecting more than 74,000 people.
Visitors from Bahrain, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and even Pakistan became carriers of the Covid-19 infection. Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, both with already-strained relations with Tehran, accused Iran of engaging in irresponsible and dangerous behaviour. Ever since the 2011 Arab Spring, the ruling al Khalifa dynasty has accused Iran of instigating unrest and rebellion in the Shia majority Sheikhdom.
