DUBAI - President Hassan Rouhani pressed harder on Wednesday for a $5 billion emergency IMF loan Iran has sought to fight the Middle East’s worst coronavirus outbreak, saying the Fund would be guilty of discrimination if it withholds the money.
Iran’s central bank wrote last month to the International Monetary Fund to request the $5 billion from its Rapid Financing Initiative, an emergency programme that aids countries faced with sudden shocks such as natural disasters. It was Tehran’s first request for IMF aid since Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Iran has banned intercity travel and shut non-essential businesses to fight an outbreak that according to official figures has killed 3,993 people and infected 64,586. An IMF official has said the Fund is in dialogue with Iran, with talks aimed at understanding Iran’s needs and what is required for the loan request to be processed.

Why don’t they just ask their Islam buddies in the Gulf Region... OH yea they pissed everyone off except for the terrorist groups they financed, who I’m sure will return some of cash to Iran, NOT
No. Iran must return to a non-muslim democracy first. Stop praying 4 times a day and show you are serious about capitalism.
