<\/p>\nAs protests and strikes are increasing in numbers across Iran, new reports indicate that they have also been on the rise in the capital city of\u00a0 Tehran in a significant scale.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In addition to voicing a variety of demands, numerous reports on protests on Monday showed people also voicing their support for the upcoming Iranian opposition convention scheduled for June 30, 2018\u00a0in Paris.<\/p>\n
Tehran\u2019s bazaar became the scene of a major demonstration and the remarks in the people’s slogans indicate that they find the Iranian regime completely responsible for their daily dilemmas. Their slogans include:\u00a0“Our incompetent government is responsible for our nation’s poverty,” and\u00a0“Our enemy is right here. They’re lying when they say it’s America.”<\/p>\n
Shoemakers in Tehran\u2019s Sepahsalar Garden were also seen holding a major rally where their daily demands quickly turned political with a focus shifting on the Iranian regime\u2019s authorities and their entire apparatus.<\/p>\n
What begins as slogans against austerity measures and unemployment \u2013 two very grave economic matters in Iran \u2013 is constantly becoming heated as people shout their enemy is none other than the mullahs\u2019 regime itself.<\/p>\n
Significant is how Iran\u2019s middle class is also seen joining the ongoing protests. The current situation, however, is becoming very dire and even the middle class and upper middle class no longer can purchase their needs as they used to before.<\/p>\n
An increasing number of videos are arriving from inside Iran where people hide their faces and hold up placards supporting the upcoming Iranian opposition gathering in Paris.<\/p>\n
