The official death toll declared by the regime stands at 81,672, around a fourth of the actual figure. While vaccination in Iran has been halted without ever actually being launched due to the regime\u2019s criminal and plundering policies, alarm bells are sounding across the country of a fifth peak. \u201cThe status quo is fragile, and the Indian and South African variants are spreading. The threat of a fifth peak is before us, including in Razavi Khorasan, province,\u201d said the spokesperson of the regime\u2019s Health Ministry on Thursday, according to the regime&#039;s official IRNA news agency. Iran: Protests by People from All Walks of Life Continue On Wednesday, landowners in the city of Pardis, northeast Tehran, again held a rally in front of the regime&#039;s judiciary. They are demanding their purchased lands to be delivered to them. 250 workers of Mahshahr Pipe Mill Co. were expelled and are facing difficulties and barely can make ends meet. The decision has triggered a wave of protests by the workers of this company, who gathered in front of the provincial governor\u2019s office on Wednesday to demand the settlement of their work status. On Monday, a group of Water and Wastewater workers in the city of Izeh, southwest Iran, held a rally protesting one-year delayed payments and the lack of accountability and officials\u2019 silence and refusal to follow-up their demands. Rice farmers in Khuzestan province held a protest rally in front of the Ahvaz governor&#039;s office on Tuesday, to demand their rights. They are demanding the right of irrigation for their lands. Members of the Islamic Council of Tehran Bus Company held a protest rally against officials\u2019 refusal to implement job classification plan in front of the Tehran City Council on Tuesday.
