These demonstrations reflect widespread frustration with the government&#8217;s failure to address their longstanding demands for fair pensions, better healthcare, and improved living conditions amid skyrocketing inflation. The protests primarily targeted government entities and shareholders of the telecommunications company for neglecting the rights of retirees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In <strong>Tehran, Tehran Province<\/strong>, retirees gathered outside the Telecommunications Company headquarters.

They carried banners that read, \u201cThe company has been torn apart, all they do is plunder,\u201d and also criticized the presence of military figures in key leadership positions with slogans like \u201cWe don\u2019t want a military director.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In <strong>Ahvaz, Khuzestan Province<\/strong>, telecommunications retirees marched and called out the major shareholders of the company, such as the &#8220;Setad Ejraei&#8221; and the &#8220;Cooperative Foundation of the IRGC.&#8221; The demonstrators, carrying signs reading \u201cShareholders, have some shame, leave telecommunications alone,\u201d demanded their rights and rejected any form of charity or superficial promises.
