The US is deeply concerned that Iran may have hidden the details of the coronavirus spread, said US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urging all countries to tell the truth.

“The United States is deeply concerned by information indicating the Iranian regime may have suppressed vital details about the outbreak in that country,” Reuters reported quoting Pompeo. He criticized Beijing for what he characterized as the censorship of media and medical professionals.

“All nations, including Iran, should tell the truth about the coronavirus and cooperate with international aid organizations,” he said.
