While the price of the national currency, the rial, has lost more than 80% of its value in the past few years, pensions have not improved much, and the regime has not adjusted salaries based on the currency and inflation rates. Thus, most pensioners live under the poverty line.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The regime couldn\u2019t prevent or oppress pensioners\u2019 protests, although retirees had announced their plan to hold rallies on Sunday. The ongoing protests in Iran show a dramatic change in Iranian people\u2019s conflict with the regime in the past forty years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The holding of successive and pre-announced nationwide rallies now shows a new balance of power because people \u201chave reached the end of the road,\u201d according to Mohsen Esmaili, member of the regime\u2019s Parliament on January 31. Thus, oppressive measures would result in more protests on the major Iran protests\u2019 scale in November 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Although the regime oppressed the November uprising by killing over <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/iran-protests\/27081-over-1-500-killed-in-the-iranian-people-s-nationwide-uprising-names-of-504-martyrs-released\" rel=\"noopener\">1500 protesters<\/a>, those protests have turned into the regime\u2019s nightmare, which still haunts mullahs. In few hours, protests, which had initially sparked after the sudden gasoline price-hike, spread across Iran, and people targeted the regime\u2019s centers of oppression and plunder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">People chanted slogans such as \u201cdeath to the dictator,\u201d \u201cdown with Supreme Leader,\u201d echoing their regime change desire.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Iran Protests: Nationwide Uprising in Iran- November 2019\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_R-XN2b5wZ6I\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FR-XN2b5wZ6I%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R-XN2b5wZ6I\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT4M22S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2019-12-04T19:58:54Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_R-XN2b5wZ6I\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FR-XN2b5wZ6I%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Iran Protests: Nationwide Uprising in Iran- November 2019<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/R-XN2b5wZ6I\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FR-XN2b5wZ6I%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Iran Protests: Nationwide Uprising in Iran- November 2019\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"#IranProtests- Nationwide Uprising in #Iran-November 2019 Mrs. Maryam Rajavi: World must condemn horrific crime against humanity, take action to stop it and free all prisoners; inaction is inexcusable and the regime will construe it as a green light to continue and intensify its crimes. The People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) published an additional list of the heroic victims of the Iranian people\u2019s uprising. The number of those killed in the protests that swept across 200 cities has risen to 1,500 According to reports received by the Iranian Resistance from inside the country, the Iranian regime\u2019s State Security Force alone has recorded 1,029 deaths related to the protests.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The regime has been able to prevent another uprising by choosing an inhumane coronavirus policy. By systematic inaction and cover-up, the regime used the Covid-19 crisis to take mass casualties from people and use them as a barrier to another uprising.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">But the coronavirus crisis has added to the people\u2019s hatred toward the regime. As the state-run Arman daily wrote on December 26, the regime will have an \u201cuncertain future during the pos-coronavirus crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The rising inflation and poverty rate, due to the regime\u2019s mismanagement, has increased society\u2019s restiveness in the last two years.
