The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 80,156, around a fourth of the actual figure. Alireza Zali, head of the Tehran Covid-19 Task Force, denied on Monday reports of a death following the use of the Iranian vaccine. \u201cAll medicines and all therapeutic measures such as surgeries are coupled with side-effects. The coronavirus vaccine is not an exception and may have mild and temporary side-effects,\u201d he said, according to the regime&#039;s official IRNA news agency. Iran: Protests Continue Across Iran Sunday saw another round of protests by contract teachers working at so-called \u201cnon-profit\u201d schools in front of the parliament in Tehran. According to the protesting teachers, their salaries are often reduced to a third of the salary of official teachers, and they are deprived of job benefits, including insurance. In tandem with the protest in Tehran, a group of contract teachers in Isfahan province held a protest rally in front of the offices of the education ministry and demanded official contracts and the resolution of the many problems they are facing at work. Also on Sunday, retired employees of the steel industry held protest rallies in several cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, Ahvaz, and West Alborz. On Saturday, a group of farmers in Ahvaz, Khuzestan province, held a protest rally at the Salman water canal and prevented the agents of the Water and Electricity Organization from closing the canal.
