Rescuers have pulled two women alive from the rubble of a mountain village in southeastern
Iran, but they also uncovered dozens of corpses as the death toll from Tuesday’s earthquake headed towards 550.Thousands of survivors of the magnitude 6.4 quake, many angry at the slow pace of relief efforts, faced another bleak night on freezing and rain-soaked slopes amid the mud and rubble that used to be their homes.
Iran’s government, which initially said it could cope without foreign assistance, changed tack and said it would take help from abroad. But Tehran refused an offer of aid from the United States.
Iran states they did not refuse the United States, but is rather dealing with the problem themselves – - which isn’t true as there are other nations assisting them.
It sure sounds like a refusal to me.
How many died in that really bad that hit Iran a few years ago?
Oh man that was a tragedy!
Maybe its time for a new goverment in IRAN they sure dont need the bunch of feinds they have today its outragous they would turn down our help its like refusing a seat on a lifeboat on the TITANIC becuase there were christains on board by some atheists:razz:
