Sure, that´s a nice gesture. However, It´s formulated so it really sounds that they have to crawl in the dirt and kiss his almighty feets before they get it.

We also know that the only thing he is trying to do is collecting voters for another 4 years of mayhem.

Iran always paid its contributions to IMF and was therefore entitled to apply for assistance / the IMF is not a bank but an institution created to provide temporary loans to restore the balance of payments of member states in times like this

Therefore the veto by the US is scandalous

Sorry, but... I thought corona virus has something to do with Health ( WHO) and NOT with money ( International MONITARY Fund) 

2) A country, who has its primary goal to completely destroy another country and kill its citizens, should be thown out of all (world) organisations

You are like Trump confused ...Iran did not ask for medical help from WHO (which can only provide humanitarian aid) but for temporary financial assistance (loan) from IMF during the economic crisis caused by ongoing Covid-19

Which country are pointing at in point 2 ....you mean the USA and its decision to overthrow Saddam and destabilize the whole Middle and Near East and hand over Iraq on a plate to Iran?

The ongoing conflict from Afghanistan to Syria and from Syria to Yemen is a religious war between Sunni's and Shia's and their allies ..it is as simple and complicated as that.

And yet the USA is not. Go figure.

China, Germany, UAE and Turkey have sent medical suppliers and experts to Iran even without Iran asking for it. That is how civilized leaders will behave to deliver humanitarian assistance to save lives and alleviate sufferings. 

[Thongkorn]

If Equipment was sent from America  it would probably be burned and stamped on. Thats whats normal when America is talked about in Iran, Iran would twist the kind gesture to suite themselves

He is having problems with US states and he would be helping Iran? 

The only person trump helps is himself.  

[ukrules]

If Iran does the modern day equivalent of 'bending the knee' then I'm sure they will send all the help they can, lol.

 

Don't doubt the offer though, it's going to be very real.

 

Lets read between the lines on this offer a little, it's not aimed at the 'current' Iranian regime, it's aimed at the people who might overthrow the current Iranian regime.

 

Think about that a little

The offers of aids are being seen as disingenuous and I don’t blame Iran from feeling that way.

Indeed, in these uncertain times it wouldn't take much for your average Iranian to launch v.2 of the Arab Spring.

Even less for an insider with the backing of plenty of people who've had enough with what's going on.

 

I kind of expect a coup in Iran, lets not forget, the Americans are ready to help with coronavirus, my hunch is they might be willing to help with other 'problems' as well.

It's like when Cuba offered "what little they had" after 9/11. It is nothing more than making them lose face. Passive aggressive. However if they want the aid I have a couple of used ventilators in my shed. 

 

The USA should be giving nobody aid at all right now.

That would be nice! However, that is same likely as they would put their nose out of businesses where they don´t belong. In other words. That will never happen.

They were not asking American money but - based on their paid membership of the IMF - a loan to restore their balance of payments.  Also I can assure you that their are more people in Iran loving the USA than in Saudi Arabia (I worked and lived in both countries)
