These rallies marked the 9th nationwide protest by Iranian pensioners in the last three months and the first in the new Persian Year of 1400. Pensioners held their protests on Sunday, despite the heavy atmosphere of repression in Iran. The regime had tried to intimidate protesters and prevent them from joining these protests, but it failed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Pensioners held their rallies in Tehran, Arak, Ardabil, Isfahan, Ahvaz, Ilam, Khorramabad, Rasht, Sari, Sanandaj, Shiraz, Karaj, Kerman, Kermanshah, Gorgan, Qazvin, Mashhad, Yazd, Neyshabur, Shush, Shooshtar, and Abhar, outside the local social security offices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">They chanted: &#8220;We have heard too many lies, we will no longer vote,&#8221; &#8220;Threats and crackdown are no longer effective,&#8221; &#8220;We have not seen any justice, we will no longer vote,&#8221; &#8220;Parliament, Government, stop deceiving the people,&#8221; &#8220;To overcome empty plates, we must take to the streets,&#8221; and &#8220;Until we obtain our rights, we will be here every day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The pensioners&#8217; protests and slogans are signs of the society&#8217;s condensed hatred toward the regime and its corrupted apparatus.\u00a0The regime&#8217;s officials and state-run media have <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-protests\/iran-state-run-media-warn-officials-of-a-social-explosion\/\" rel=\"noopener\">acknowledged<\/a> the society&#8217;s explosive state and people&#8217;s economic grievances. &#8220;The inflation burns people to their core,&#8221; said Abbas Akhundi, the regime&#8217;s former minister of Urban and Roads Developments, on Sunday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Uprising in Southeast Iran and Retirees&rsquo; Protests Suggest Society&rsquo;s Restiveness\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_s6dDO691a98\" 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%2Fs6dDO691a98%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s6dDO691a98\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M18S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2021-03-12T17:16:16Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_s6dDO691a98\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fs6dDO691a98%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Uprising in Southeast Iran and Retirees\u2019 Protests Suggest Society\u2019s Restiveness<\/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\/s6dDO691a98\" 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%2Fs6dDO691a98%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Uprising in Southeast Iran and Retirees&rsquo; Protests Suggest Society&rsquo;s Restiveness\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"On February 28, 2021, pensioners in Iran held nationwide protests for the fourth consecutive week. The protests took place simultaneous with the uprising in Sistan &amp; Baluchistan, southeast Iran. Retirees held demonstrations in 11 cities in 10 provinces. The regime\u2019s economic mismanagement &amp; corruption have devastated Iran\u2019s economy. Thus, all walks of life are grappling with poverty &amp; a high inflation rate. Hojatollah Abdolmaleki, deputy director of the so-called Imam Khomeini Relief Committee: \u201cIn 2018, the average cost of food per person was 150,000 tomans per month, but now it has reached 600,000 tomans.\u201d State-run Resalat daily: Retirees stage protests because their \u201cpensions do not even answer their needs to purchase food.\u201d These factors have turned Iranian society into a powder keg. The daily protests in Iran, including retirees\u2019 protests &amp; the uprising in Sistan &amp; Baluchistan foretell a nationwide uprising. Protest movements have features that distinguish them from previous ones: Extensiveness &amp; intensity. State-run Etemad daily, Feb 28, 2021: \u201cThe wild horse of unrest is going from one city to another, leaving many injuries &amp; dangers in the system.\u201d State-run Jahan-e Sanat daily, Feb 28: These protests are like \u201ca time bomb under the skin of society. No one knows when it will explode.\u201d These signs foretell that Iran is on the verge of a revolution.

If we do not find a solution, great damage will await us. The feeling of oppression among the people who lost their [life savings in] stock market, [people&#8217;s anger of] incidents, [such as] the fuel-price hike incident [<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-protests-2019-update\/\" rel=\"noopener\">November 2019 uprising<\/a>], the rampant inflation, the long ques for oil and poultry, cannot be ignored. People will react at the right time,&#8221; said Ahmad Alireza Beigy, one of the regime&#8217;s MPs, on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;The truth is the inflation in the country has increased by 35% within the last year, and the prices of most products people need have tripled,&#8221; wrote the state-run Arman daily on Saturday, adding, &#8220;In the current situation, workers are living in inadequate economic conditions. Many shop owners have a customer downturn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;On the other hand, unemployment is increasing daily in society. The situation is such that private companies are either partially closed or forced to fire their employees.&#8221; Arman writes, concluding, &#8220;As a result, the recent rise in prices has infuriated people, and society is on the verge of a population explosion. If this doesn&#8217;t happen now, it will happen soon&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Protests by all walks of life in Iran reemerged in the winter of 2021, after a year of people&#8217;s battle with the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak. These daily protests demonstrate that the regime, with all its oppressive forces, cannot oppress protests because this will further enrage people and deepen their hatred toward the regime. On the other hand, if the regime does not respond, these protests will spread across Iran, which reminds the regime of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/iran-protests-2019-update\/\" rel=\"noopener\">November 2019 uprising<\/a>, which rattled the regime&#8217;s foundations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, retirees and pensioners of Iran&rsquo;s social security organization held rallies across the country, protesting their poor economic conditions and chanting slogans against the regime.
