Persia WW1.

This is coolbert:

From Iranian controlled [?] media Press an aspect of the Great War I was not familiar with. Persia as it existed at time divided into sectors several of which controlled by foreign powers. Persia indirectly a participant in the Great War [WW1]!

As was the Bengali Famine of World War Two [WW2] so was the Persian Famine of World War One [WW1].

MORE PERSIANS [IRANIANS] DIED FROM FAMINE ALONE THAN ALMOST ALL OF THE COMBATANTS OF THE GREAT WAR DURING THAT CONFLICT? SO IS THE ASSERTION MADE!!

"A book on Britain’s role in famine that killed 8-10 million Iranians in WWI"

"the widespread famine coupled with a disease epidemic killed around 8-10 million Iranian between 1917 and 1919, nearly half of the country’s population back then."

The historical aspect as extracted from the wiki and thanks to same:

"Persian famine of 1917–1919"

"The Persian famine of 1917–1919 was a period of widespread mass starvation and disease in Persia (Iran) under rule of Qajar dynasty during World War I. The famine took place in the occupied territory of Iran that had declared neutrality."

"According to the estimates acknowledged by the mainstream view, about 2 million people died between 1917 and 1919 because of hunger and from diseases, which included cholera, plague and typhus, as well as influenza infected by 1918 flu pandemic."

Persons their immune systems weakened by hunger and perishing from the Swine Flu epidemic.

FIVE TIMES AS MANY PERSONS SUCCUMBING TO THE SWINE FLUE PANDEMIC AS ALL THE BATTLEFIELD CASUALTIES OF WW1!
