More than 3,700 people have been injured as a result of mass unrest currently sweeping across Iran. Operative Information Center-OMM reports that Ebrahim Azizi, Chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Iranian Parliament (Majlis), shared this data regarding the consequences of the demonstrations.
According to the committee chairman, the unrest has resulted in significant damage to both state and public property. The official statement emphasized the scale of the destruction across various regions, though specific details on the severity of the injuries among civilians and security forces were not fully disclosed.
The wave of protests in Iran began on December 29, triggered by a sharp devaluation of the national currency, the rial. The economic grievances quickly escalated into broader political demonstrations, spreading to most major cities across the country. Such protests often highlight long-standing issues regarding inflation, unemployment, and economic management within the Islamic Republic, frequently leading to heightened tensions between the authorities and the populace.
