Protests have continued across Iran this week, with people furious over economic conditions that throw them into poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, January 25, social security retirees protested their poor living conditions, caused by their pension status, outside the Planning and Budget Organization. They said that their pensions were lower than those of military retirees and that this should be equalled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While on Tuesday, January 26, retirees held protests in several cities across the country, including in Tehran, Karaj, Ilam, Mashhad, Ardabil, Kermanshah, Qazvin, Ahvaz, Neyshabour, Rasht, Arak, Isfahan, Tabriz, Khorramabad, and Sari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
