State TV is reporting that Iran has returned 820,000 doses of coronavirus vaccines donated by Poland because they were manufactured in the United States.
TV quoted an official in the country’s Health Ministry as saying Poland donated about a million doses of British-Swedish AstraZeneca vaccine to Iran. But officials determined 820,000 of them were manufactured in the U.S.With more than 135,000 total deaths from COVID-19, according to official numbers, Iran has the highest national death toll in the Middle East.
Iran has relied on Sinopharm, the state-backed Chinese vaccine, but offers citizens a smorgasbord of other shots.

Explainer-How close is Iran to being able to build a nuclear bomb?Indirect talks between Tehran and Washington to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal are in the home straight, delegates say, though some important issues remain unresolved and it is still unclear whether an agreement will be clinched. Since then-President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the accord in 2018 and reimposed sanctions, Iran has breached many of the deal's curbs that had extended the time it would need to produce enough fissile material for an atom bomb - if it chose to build one - to at least a year from 2-3 months. That time, which is widely referred to as 'breakout time', will not return to a year even if an agreement is reached, diplomats say, given the knowledge Iran has gained from going beyond the deal's restrictions.
