Iran’s nationwide uprising continues on its 166th day with protesters voicing their grievances over economic woes that have engulfed the country.

The protests, which have spread to at least 282 cities across the nation, have sparked grave concerns for regime officials, who fear that this new round of major protests could shake the regime to its core and pose major security concerns for authorities across the country. Retirees and pensioners of the Social Security Organization held a protest rally in Shahrekord, southwest Iran, and other cities across the country on Tuesday protesting low wages and pensions, insurance issues, and poor living conditions. Similar rallies were held in other cities, including Tabriz, Karaj, Arak, Rasht, Qazvin, Isfahan, Babol, Takestan, Sanandaj, Marivan, Ardabil, and Ilam.

Steelworkers in the city of Yazd also rallied on Tuesday demanding better living and work conditions and seeking a pay raise to make ends meet for their families. Regime operatives attacked an area of makeshift homes near Chabahar in Sistan & Baluchestan Province of southeast Iran on Tuesday morning, demolishing the homes and opening fire on the residents. Reports indicate that tension is also reported at an all-girls school in the town of Parand in Tehran Province, where an object thrown inside the school exploded, leading to the spreading of gas that left several students ill.

Investors in the Azvico auto company, which includes the IRGC, along with those who have placed down payments for vehicles, held a rally in Tehran on Tuesday seeking answers to their long-standing demands.

Meanwhile, students at Tehran University protested a decision made by officials to hold their classes online for the next three weeks and close the campus dormitory, which will result in major troubles for many students.

The ongoing protests, which have resulted in at least 750 deaths and over 30,000 arrests, are becoming a major concern for regime officials, especially at a time when the country’s economy is in shambles and the national currency, the rial, is nosediving against the US dollar.

Iranian opposition President-elect Maryam Rajavi of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) met with two prominent members of the UK House of Commons, including Rt. Hon. David Jones and Hon. Bob Blackman in Ashraf 3, voicing her gratitude to the representatives of the people of Britain for their unwavering support for democracy and human rights in Iran.

Despite the regime’s repressive measures and various schemes, it has been unable to dismantle the material foundations of the uprising, nor has it succeeded in eradicating the Resistance Units and the courageous youth who serve as its driving force. As protests continue to spread across the country, the Iranian regime faces an uncertain future.
