Retirees from the telecommunications sector led demonstrations in Tabriz, Sanandaj, Ardebil, Rasht, Kermanshah, Arak, Marivan, Isfahan, and Ahvaz, demanding improved pensions and basic rights. These retirees, often facing financial strain in their twilight years, rallied under banners calling for dignified livelihoods and adherence to promised pension regulations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In parallel, gold merchants in Isfahan and Tabriz extended their strike, protesting new tax laws that threatened to burden them with heavier taxes on their assets and sales. The continuation of this strike underscores the resilience of the business community in the face of adverse economic policies.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">May 13\u2014Fasa, southern <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a><br \/>Nurses and assistant nurses rally in front of the office of the governorate building, protesting poor working conditions and demanding the regime to address their demands.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BI3Y4y41IX\">pic.twitter.com\/BI3Y4y41IX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1789978124182073428?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 13, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Fasa, south Iran, nurses and assistant nurses staged a rally in front of the governorate building, decrying poor working conditions and demanding immediate governmental intervention to address their grievances.
