The streets of cities across Iran have repeatedly witnessed the large and persistent presence of retirees protesting their dire living conditions. This movement continues and is growing by the day. These honorable and hardworking people, who dedicated years of their lives and energy to service to the country, now in their old age and time of need, are facing enormous economic hardships, rampant inflation, and the neglect of the corrupt officials of the clerical regime. Their widespread protests, which initially had professional and livelihood-related themes, have now clearly shifted toward political demands. They see the root of their problems not only in the corrupt management of pension funds but also in the entirety of the regime\u2019s plundering economic policies and its inherently corrupt structure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"179\" data-end=\"915\"><a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/irans-deprived-retirees-a-force-of-protests-and-uprisings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"179\" data-end=\"915\">Iran-U.S. Talks in Muscat: A Glimpse into Stalled Diplomacy and Tehran\u2019s Strategic Deadlock<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"179\" data-end=\"915\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-316014 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/iran-us-flag-300x188.jpg\" alt=\"iran us flag\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/iran-us-flag-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/iran-us-flag-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/iran-us-flag-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/iran-us-flag-696x435.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/iran-us-flag.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"179\" data-end=\"915\">Today, representatives from Iran and the United States gathered in Muscat, the capital of Oman, for a new round of talks\u2014a cautious effort to ease tensions and explore diplomatic solutions amid rising regional instability.
