The pressure of war in Iran is becoming increasingly direct pressure on people's livelihoods Protests by workers and retirees in many parts of Iran are still ongoing. In early October, there were reports of retiree rallies in Tehran, Ahvaz, Kermanshah, and other places. On October 11th, there were also retiree rallies in Isfahan, Shush, and Rasht. They demand an increase in pension, retroactive payment of arrears, and improvement of medical security, but ultimately, it means that income is becoming increasingly difficult to cover normal life. According to recent data released by the Iranian Statistical Center, prices have increased by 89.8% year-on-year. That is to say, the same basket of goods and services now costs an average of nearly 90% more than a year ago. Food prices are rising faster, and most of the income of retirees is used for meals, medicine, and daily expenses. Even if the pension increases, as long as it cannot keep up with the price of goods, the actual things that can be bought are still getting fewer and fewer. When faced with delays in retroactive payments, life becomes even more difficult to arrange. This also explains why there are anti war voices in people's livelihood protests. According to records released by opposition organizations, some protesters in Kermanshah shouted slogans of not wanting war and killing, and demanding life security. At least for these participants, war has been linked to their own food, medicine, and pension funds. What they are asking the government to answer is when the current difficulties in life can be resolved. The pressure on Iran is also overlapping with each other. Sanctions and maritime blockades restrict oil exports and foreign exchange earnings, while currency depreciation makes imported goods, raw materials, and equipment more expensive. Business operations are more difficult, workers' work and income are under pressure, and the government's financial resources for maintaining subsidies, wages, and pensions are also squeezed. The existing issues of debt, medical insurance, and management will become more prominent in this environment. Now even some hardline lawmakers within Iran are openly criticizing the economic policies of the central bank and government. This indicates that the debate surrounding economic difficulties has extended to within the system: external pressures certainly exist, but there are also those who question whether domestic policies have increased the burden on ordinary people. For the government, both the duration of external conflicts and how long it can withstand domestically are issues that must be addressed simultaneously. These protests will increase the real motivation for Iran to ease the conflict, seek relaxation of sanctions, and resume trade. It can be seen that the cost of continuing the confrontation is falling on more families. If the purchasing power of wages and pensions continues to decline, and medical and basic living issues remain unresolved, the domestic pressure on the government will continue to increase.
