Iran is grappling with a deep and unprecedented economic crisis, with citizens from various sectors of society, from retirees and nurses to teachers and students, pouring into the streets. The recent protests, which began in the summer, have intensified particularly due to economic and livelihood issues.
Impossible Living in the Shadow of Inflation
The relentless rise in prices, which occurs every few hours, has put immense pressure on people's lives. Many families are facing serious difficulties in meeting their basic needs. Salaries and pensions are not being paid regularly, and unemployment is on the rise. This situation has led some citizens, including workers and teachers, to resort to cost-cutting measures and even use their savings for survival.
In these harsh conditions, protesting citizens have turned to holding gatherings and strikes, demanding improvements in their economic and living conditions. They can no longer tolerate this situation and are continuously repeating the phrase, "I spend my assets on survival."
Gatherings Amid Security Threats
Despite security threats and a repressive atmosphere, people continue their protests. These gatherings reflect public anger and frustration with the current situation. Protests are taking place in various parts of the country, and there seems to be no sign of a decrease in these grievances in the near future.
Meanwhile, many analysts are concerned that the continuation of this situation could lead to deeper social and political crises. Especially considering that life for many Iranians is becoming a daily battle, it seems that discontent will soon reach a boiling point.
