Demonstrations occurred in major cities including Tehran, Kermanshah, and Ardabil, with citizens voicing their frustrations over various issues from low pensions to unpaid wages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Tehran, a significant protest occurred as customers of Bank Mellat gathered to demand the return of their lost assets. The peaceful rally quickly turned chaotic as security forces launched a brutal crackdown, resulting in several arrests. Eyewitnesses described the scene as &#8220;a wild assault&#8221; by the authorities, targeting not only the protesters but also several retirees who had joined the demonstration.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">June 18\u2014Tehran, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a><br \/>Security forces attack customers of Bank Mellat who had rallied to protest the loss of their assets.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6vUbDUxbzP\">pic.twitter.com\/6vUbDUxbzP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1803028562099732935?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 18, 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;\">Meanwhile, in Kermanshah, retirees from government offices, the telecommunications industry, medical sciences universities, and the Social Security Organization staged a protest outside the city&#8217;s pension fund office on Kasra Street.

This marks the 21st week of the campaign, which aims to protest against the increasing rate of executions in Iran. The strikers issued a statement condemning the recent release of Hamid Noury, a former prison guard involved in the 1988 mass executions, labeling it as a &#8220;disgraceful deal&#8221; that undermines human rights and emboldens the regime\u2019s oppressive tactics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These widespread protests highlight the multifaceted crises facing Iran today.
