Their chants, such as \u201cWe fought against COVID, but received no support,\u201d highlight the severe challenges they face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">August 19\u2014Arak, central Iran<br \/>Protest rally by the healthcare workers of Arak Medical Sciences University in tandem with the strikes and protests of nurses across Iran.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ecV6WBZBfj\">pic.twitter.com\/ecV6WBZBfj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1825491727349588451?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 19, 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;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><b>Tehran<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, retirees from the Telecommunications Company of Iran (TCI) gathered despite the presence of security forces, demanding higher pensions and essential living conditions.
