  • In 2022, ongoing protests in Iran escalated into nationwide civil unrest as a result of government price hikes on staple foods including bread and pasta. The protests were part of a countrywide wave of protests beginning in July 2021. Protests were initially concentrated in the water-stricken province of Khuzestan, but rapidly spread nationwide. Authorities responded by declaring riot control action and blocking internet access. Prior to the start of the demonstrations, preceding and during International Workers' Day on May 1, Iran preemptively detained 38 teachers in order to stymie planned nationwide protests during National Teachers' Day on May 2. Workers' protests in Iran increased in Iran over the past year as the result of a deterioration in living conditions caused by the re-imposition of US sanctions against Iran during the Trump administration, and the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. After the Iranian government ended subsidies for imported wheat, the price of flour soared by around 500%, exacerbating current inflation, which hovered around 50%. The protests, starting on May 6 in Khuzestan, were initially associated with the rising cost of living. However, they rapidly escalated into anti Mullah demonstrations. Ranchers in at least 10 cities allegedly staged demonstrations at offices of the Iranian Agricultural Ministry, with pensioners participating in similar demonstrations. Large scale demonstrations reportedly broke out in the city of Dezful, and reportedly spread into the cities of Khafajia, Hawizeh, and Shiraz. The National Council of Resistance of Iran's president-elect Maryam Rajavi, claimed that protestors had started demonstrations in the cities of Andimeshk, Ahvaz, Hamedan, Isfahan, Dorud, Tabriz, Tehran, Izeh, and Shahr-e Kord.
