Iran’s nationwide uprising is witnessing its 265th day on Wednesday as people from all walks of life have been protesting and voicing their frustration over their economic concerns. The mullahs’ regime continues to waste tens of billions of dollars that belong to the Iranian people on their clandestine nuclear weapons program, ballistic missile drive, developing suicide/kamikaze drones, financing global terrorism, supporting dictators such as Bashar al-Assad in Syria, and beefing up their domestic crackdown machine.
People throughout Iran continue to specifically hold the mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei responsible for their miseries, while also condemning the oppressive the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and paramilitary Basij units, alongside other security units that are on the ground suppressing the peaceful demonstrators.
Protests in Iran have to this day expanded to at least 282 cities. Over 750 people have been killed and more than 30,000 are arrested by the regime’s forces, according to sources of Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The names of 675 killed protesters have been published by the PMOI/MEK.

Retirees and pensioners of the regime’s Social Security Organization in the cities of Shush and Ahvaz in Khuzestan Province, southwest Iran, are rallying and holding a gathering on Wednesday demanding their rights while protesting their low pensions.
Pensioners and retirees are among the worst-hit segments of Iran’s society. They depend on government stipends to make ends meet, but the regime has refused to increase their pensions in correspondence with growing inflation and the depreciation of the national currency.
The government has long provided many hollow promises of increasing pensions. It was also supposed to settle unpaid pensions remaining from previous years. So far, it has yet to deliver on both demands.
Interestingly, the regime’s own media reported that The Social Security Investment Company (SHASTA), the financial institution that is supposed to fund retirees, has seen a significant increase in its profits in the past years. However, these profits have yet to materialize in the lives of pensioners and retirees.

In the past few years, retirees across Iran have been protesting to their deteriorating living conditions, especially as the government refuses to adjust their pensions based on the inflation rate and fluctuations in the price of the rial, Iran’s national currency.

In other reports from inside Iran, people in the town of Taft in Yazd Province in the central parts of the country were holding a gathering outside the local governor’s office on Tuesday protesting the severe shortage and even lack of drinking water in their town.
Activists say it is quite telling that the mullahs’ regime allocates hundreds of billions of dollars for their clandestine nuclear weapons program, ballistic missile development, suicide/kamikaze drones, supporting global terrorism, and beefing up their domestic crackdown machine. There is also news that regime President Ebrahim Raisi in his recent visit to Indonesia promised to fund the construction of 12 hospitals in the Southeast Asian country, and leaked documents indicating the dozens of billions of dollars the Iranian regime has provided for Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

The protests in Iran began following the death of Mahsa Amini. Mahsa (Zhina) Amini, a 22-year-old woman from the city of Saqqez in Kurdistan Province, western Iran, who traveled to Tehran with her family, was arrested on Tuesday, September 13, at the entry of Haqqani Highway by the regime’s so-called “Guidance Patrol” and transferred to the “Moral Security” agency.
She was brutally beaten by the morality police and died of her wounds in a Tehran hospital on September 16. The event triggered protests that quickly spread across Iran and rekindled the people’s desire to overthrow the regime.
