Economic difficulties have led to an increase in protests

Protests have escalated in various regions of the country due to economic difficulties. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to local sources, several people have died and dozens have been injured during the demonstrations. These events are noted as one of the largest protests observed in the last three years.

In the Western Lorestan province, protesters attacked a police station and set fire to several service vehicles. Clashes with security forces also occurred in Lordegan and other cities.

Reports have spread that protesters were fired upon in some places and several people were detained. The cause of the protests is attributed to the devaluation of the national currency and the sharp rise in prices.

Students, traders, and ordinary citizens halted activities in markets to express their dissatisfaction with the government's economic policy. This process soon spread to other regions of the country.

The government announced that it has strengthened security measures to control the situation. Officials also stated that they plan to hold meetings with representatives of traders and labor unions.

The country's economy has been facing difficulties for years due to sanctions and inflation.
