Iran International:

Nurses and healthcare workers in multiple cities across central Iran, including Isfahan, Qom, and Kashan, held protests on Saturday demanding better wages and improved working conditions.

The demonstrations, sparked by ongoing frustrations over insufficient pay and forced overtime, took place despite heightened security pressures and the recent crackdown on the movement's leaders.

Protesters in Isfahan gathered before the provincial governor’s office, chanting against inadequate overtime compensation, which amounts to only 0.33 cents per hour.

In Qom, nurses rallied with slogans demanding justice and the recognition of their rights, while in Kashan, demonstrators gathered at Beheshti Hospital protesting mandatory overtime and what they described as a lack of justice following their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.
