Protest activity increased sharply on April 9 in response to deteriorating economic conditions and recent student poisonings in Iran, SİA informs referring to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
According to the US Institute, 18 protests were recorded in 16 cities across 12 provinces on April 9: “The majority of these protests were economically motivated, indicating that the regime’s success in stabilizing the Iranian rial in recent days has not been sufficient to alleviate economic hardships among large segments of the population. Various government officials and institutions have announced in recent weeks that Iran’s inflation rate hovers between 40 and 50 percent, making it difficult for many Iranians—such as retirees with fixed incomes—to afford basic goods.”
According to the information, the Iranian rial remained relatively stable between April 7 and April 10: “IRGC-affiliated media circulated reports of cabinet reshuffles within the Raisi administration’s economic team. IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency reported that Program and Budgeting Organization Head Massoud Mir Kazemi will resign at an unspecified date and be replaced with high-ranking tax official Davoud Manzour.”
