Iran Protests by All Walks of Life

On Sunday, hundreds of retirees and pensioners living on social security held rallies on 21 cities across Iran for the third consecutive week, protesting their harsh living conditions and low wages. Their pensions have not increased, while the living costs have skyrocketed.

They chanted “We won’t rest until we get our rights,” “Unity is the only way to get our rights,” and “Enough with hollow promises, enough oppression and injustice, our tables are empty.” They also underlined that the entire regime and all its officials are involved in corruption and plundering the people’s wealth, by chanting: “Neither the parliament, nor the government care about the nation,” “The judiciary has wrecked the ‘Pension Fund,’” and “The Pension Fund has been plundered.”

These protests demonstrate Iran’s explosive state. Thus, many state-run media and officials warn one another of another uprising, much larger than the one in November 2019, which rattled the regime’s foundations.
