Iran reimposes virus restrictions as delta variant spreads
Iran announced Sunday it was reimposing coronavirus restrictions on major cities, as the spread of the highly contagious delta variant spurs fears of another devastating surge in the nation. After over a year battling the worst virus outbreak in the Middle East, Iran ordered the closures of non-essential businesses in 275 cities, including the capital of Tehran. The country has reported a total of 3.2 million infections and 84,627 deaths — the highest toll in the region.
