  • Protests break out in Bojnord, Iran, amid rising prices and collapsing currency.
  • Demonstrators demand economic reforms and government accountability.

Mass protests erupted in the northeastern city of Bojnord as Iranians voiced anger over soaring prices and a collapsing national currency.

Locals took to the streets Wednesday, chanting against economic mismanagement and calling for urgent government action to stabilize markets. Reports indicate clashes with security forces, though the scale of injuries or arrests remains unclear.


Economic analysts say inflation and currency devaluation have sharply reduced purchasing power, hitting ordinary citizens hardest.

The protests in Bojnord come amid a broader pattern of unrest in Iran, with citizens increasingly frustrated over rising costs of living, unemployment, and declining access to basic goods.


Authorities have yet to issue an official response, while activists warn that tensions could escalate if economic conditions do not improve rapidly.
