Among the provinces currently under a yellow weather alert are South Khorasan, North Khorasan, Khorasan Razavi, Kerman, Sistan and Baluchestan, Yazd, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Isfahan, Semnan, Qom, Markazi, Tehran, Khuzestan, and Bushehr.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The current dust storm and air pollution crisis can be attributed, for a great part, to the Iranian regime&#8217;s mismanagement of water resources. Over the years, the regime&#8217;s policies and practices have led to the unsustainable exploitation of water reserves, exacerbating desertification and soil erosion. This, in turn, has triggered the degradation of agricultural lands and dried up vital water bodies, creating vast stretches of exposed and loose soil vulnerable to being carried away by winds.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>UPDATE: 7:30 AM CET<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran: Retirees, Workers, Hold Protest Rallies in Several Cities<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-309967 size-medium\" title=\"iran protests july 23 2023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/iran-protests-july-23-2023-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"iran protests july 23 2023\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/iran-protests-july-23-2023-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/iran-protests-july-23-2023-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/iran-protests-july-23-2023.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Retired workers and pensioners of the Iranian regime\u2019s Social Security Organization held protest rallies in several cities across Iran on Sunday despite the scorching summer heat.

In the past few years, retirees across Iran have been protesting their deteriorating living conditions, especially as the government refuses to adjust their pensions based on the inflation rate and fluctuations in the price of the rial, Iran\u2019s national currency. The price of most basic goods has spiked severalfold while pensioners continue to receive the same stipends as before.
