The widespread demonstrations highlight the growing frustration with the regime\u2019s systemic neglect and repressive measures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><b>Tabriz<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, literacy educators gathered in front of the office of the chairman of the Majlis Education Commission, reiterating their long-standing demand to be promoted to official teaching positions. Despite years of service, these educators remain marginalized, and today\u2019s rally underscores their determination to secure their rightful status. In the past weeks, similar protests have taken place in other cities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><b>Arak<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, workers of the state-owned Wagon Pars train and locomotive manufacturer continued their protests against low wages and poor living conditions. Over 1,100 workers participated, chanting, &#8220;Workers will die but won&#8217;t live in disgrace,&#8221; reflecting their anger over unfulfilled promises and the dire conditions they endure. This protest is part of a broader wave of labor unrest, as workers demand the regime address wage disparities, harsh working conditions, and management abuses. The workers&#8217; grievances have been exacerbated by the dismissive and insulting behavior of the company\u2019s management, who recently stated, &#8220;I see no men in Wagon Pars,&#8221; fueling further outrage among the workforce.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">More footage of the protest rally by workers of Wagon Pars in Arak.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cJGulRwjly\">pic.twitter.com\/cJGulRwjly<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1826586470670278864?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 22, 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;\">Nurses across the country continued their relentless protests.

In <\/span><b>Arak<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, despite repressive measures and the recent arrest of two protesting nurses, healthcare workers remained defiant, continuing their demonstrations outside local medical institutions. Similarly, in <\/span><b>Marivan<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, nurses and operating room staff at Fajr Hospital persisted in their strikes despite facing threats and intimidation from security forces. In <\/span><b>Karaj<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, bus drivers also went on strike, protesting against low wages, further illustrating the widespread economic discontent gripping the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ongoing nurses&#8217; protests, now in their third week, have spread to at least 21 cities across the country.
