Iran Press News: Translation by Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzzi
The director of the regime's emergency management office confessed that under the rule of the Mullahs, Iran has become the sixth most disaster-ridden country in the world and Asia's forth, when it comes to natural disasters and phenomena.

According to MEHR, one of the regime's news agencies, this expert stated that out of forty one (41) forms of natural disasters in the world, thirty three (33) have in fact occurred in Iran. He asserted that the regime was completely derelict in assisting and supervising any sort of aid to the survivors of the Bam earthquake [in Dec. '03] and that during the aftermath of that disaster, over 80% of the operations to excavate the people stuck under the wreckage and debris was done by the people themselves.
