There have been at least 253 protests in Iran from September 23 to October 7, according to reports by the Iranian opposition, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization<\/a> of Iran (PMOI\/MEK).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The upward trend of protests by people from all walks of life stems from social and economic pressures caused by Tehran\u2019s corruption<\/a> and malign activities. As the Raisi administration has failed to produce an agenda to address the intertwined and complex socio-economic problems, there is no ease of tensions in sight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
