WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday (Feb 26) said the United States was "deeply concerned" that Iran may have covered up details about the spread of the coronavirus, and he called on all nations to "tell the truth"about the epidemic.

"The United States is deeply concerned by information indicating the Iranian regime may have suppressed vital details about the outbreak in that country," Pompeo told reporters, as he also criticised Beijing for what he characterised as the censorship of media and medical professionals.
