From the western province of Kermanshah to the southern heat of Khuzestan, citizens from various sectors took to the streets. The demonstrators\u2014ranging from poultry farmers and factory workers to persons with disabilities\u2014shared a common grievance: a regime that has abandoned its people in favor of mismanagement and systemic neglect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While government officials in Tehran continue to issue directives, the reality on the ground paints a picture of a nation where production is collapsing, and the most vulnerable are left without a safety net.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Collapse of Food Security: A &#8220;Funeral&#8221; for Poultry<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a stark display of outrage, poultry farmers of Fars Province gathered outside the governor\u2019s office in Shiraz on December 3 to hold a symbolic &#8220;funeral prayer&#8221; for their industry. The demonstrators warned that the sector is effectively dead, suffocated by the skyrocketing costs of feed and government inaction.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">December 3\u2014Shiraz, southern Iran<br \/>Poultry farmers rallied outside the governor\u2019s office over soaring feed prices and denial of state quotas, warning they\u2019ll be forced to shut down, cutting production and driving chicken prices higher for struggling families.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0qB0Un540H\">pic.twitter.com\/0qB0Un540H<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1996156114681876596?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 3, 2025<\/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;\">&#8220;People need to know who has paralyzed the chicken and egg market,&#8221; the farmers announced over loudspeakers. They warned that if poultry becomes scarce or unaffordable tomorrow, the blame lies entirely with state mismanagement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Simultaneously, in Kermanshah, poultry farmers blocked streets in an act of civil disobedience. &#8220;We blocked the streets because they don&#8217;t hear our voices,&#8221; the protesters stated. They reported that due to a severe lack of government-subsidized corn and soy, chicks are starving to death in their coops, leading to massive financial losses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The crisis has already hit the consumer market. Reports indicate that the price of a tray of eggs has reached 300,000 Tomans, while chicken prices are setting new records daily. Farmers warn that with the approach of Ramadan and the Persian New Year (Nowruz), the supply chain is on the verge of total rupture. One farmer, pointing to the daily mortality rate of his stock, lamented, &#8220;Every day, part of our living capital dies before our eyes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">December 2\u2014Kermanshah, western Iran<br \/>Poultry farmers marched over lack of state feed and skyrocketing costs, saying production is now impossible and prices will soar. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5jPWb3Sxs4\">pic.twitter.com\/5jPWb3Sxs4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1996227920679874653?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 3, 2025<\/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;\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The &#8220;Silent&#8221; Cry of the Disabled Community<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coinciding with the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a large group of citizens with disabilities gathered in front of the Parliament (Majlis) and the Plan and Budget Organization in Tehran on December 3. Frustrated by years of unfulfilled promises and the non-implementation of the Law to Protect the Disabled, the protest quickly turned into a display of raw anger.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a symbolic act of defiance against the Planning and Budget Organization, protesters threw eggs at the building. Their primary grievance is the meager monthly pension of 1.4 million Tomans (around $11), a figure they described as &#8220;insulting&#8221; and completely disconnected from the reality of living costs in 2025.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Oppression is enough, our tables are empty!&#8221; the protesters chanted. Speakers at the rally condemned the authorities, stating that many officials are &#8220;deaf and blind&#8221; to the suffering of the people. One protester remarked that the &#8220;real disabled people&#8221; are those corrupt officials who have looted the country\u2019s resources and destroyed the nation\u2019s livelihood.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">December 3\u2014Tehran, Iran<br \/>On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, people with disabilities rallied outside parliament over unbearable living conditions and the regime\u2019s failure to enforce the Disability Support Law after years of empty promises.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/r0cFUv9eBH\">pic.twitter.com\/r0cFUv9eBH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1996156751322738772?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 3, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Industrial Strikes and Environmental Negligence<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the southwest city of Shush, the labor crisis intensified as workers at the &#8220;Middle East Sugar&#8221; factory entered their fifth consecutive day of strikes. Despite the factory achieving record production levels recently, management has claimed an inability to pay fair wages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Workers report working grueling 12-hour shifts, yet their compensation fails to meet basic needs amidst soaring inflation. Their demands include the proper implementation of job classification laws, payment for Friday work, and the formation of a workers&#8217; council. &#8220;The wheels of production will not turn without regard for our rights,&#8221; the striking workers declared, noting that provincial officials have ignored their requests for emergency meetings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, in Mahdasht, farmers faced a crisis that highlights the regime\u2019s environmental mismanagement. After months of waiting for water for their crops, the supply that finally arrived was heavily polluted, covered in a thick layer of foam. Despite this disastrous quality, rural cooperatives are reportedly selling this contaminated water to farmers at a rate of 500,000 Tomans per hour.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">December 3\u2014Mahdasht, Alborz Province, northern Iran<br \/>Farmers protest toxic, foam-covered irrigation water and co-ops selling this polluted supply for 500,000 tomans per hour. \u201cWithout clean water, there\u2019s no crop, no income, no future,&quot; they say.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IranProtests?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IranProtests<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/25Rv4iCUtO\">pic.twitter.com\/25Rv4iCUtO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; People&#39;s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK) (@Mojahedineng) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mojahedineng\/status\/1996227616475382149?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 3, 2025<\/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;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Without clean water, there is no produce, no income, and no future,&#8221; the farmers stated, protesting the government&#8217;s willingness to profit from toxic resources that poison their land.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The events of December 3, 2025, illustrate a breakdown that transcends specific industries. Whether it is the poultry farmer watching his livestock die due to feed shortages, the disabled citizen unable to survive on a $11 pension, or the sugar worker striking for fair pay, the message is uniform: the Iranian people have reached the limit of their endurance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The regime\u2019s response\u2014silence, denial, and the sale of polluted water\u2014demonstrates a priority of plunder over governance. As these protests grow in frequency and intensity, they signal that the gap between the ruling establishment and the Iranian populace has become unbridgeable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On December 3, 2025, a diverse wave of protests swept across Iran, exposing the deepening fissures in the country&rsquo;s economic structure and social fabric.
