		</div><p>The Iranian military has set up a 2,000-bed hospital at an exhibition centre in the capital Tehran to shore up the local healthcare system as it battles the worst coronavirus outbreak in the Middle East.</p>
<p>State TV said the new facility, which includes three units and several isolation wards, was set up in just 48 hours.</p>
<p>It will be used for patients who are recovering from the Covid-19 illness caused by the virus.</p>
<p>General Ali Jahanshahi, the army’s deputy coordinator, was quoted as saying the hospital has been handed over to medical staff and will begin receiving patients next week.</p>
<p>Iran is battling the worst outbreak in the Middle East, with more than 2,200 deaths among nearly 30,000 confirmed cases.</p>
<p>Authorities have urged people to stay at home but have not imposed the sweeping lockdowns seen elsewhere in the region.</p>
<p>Iranian officials have repeatedly insisted they have the outbreak under control despite concerns it could overwhelm the country’s health facilities.</p>
<p>Iran has been under severe US sanctions since President Donald Trump withdrew his country from Iran’s 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers.</p>
<p>The US has offered humanitarian aid to Iran, but authorities have refused.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, refused American aid and seized on a conspiracy theory that the United States created the virus, something for which there is no scientific evidence.</p>
