My mother has been informing me about protests in Tehran regarding the prices of different goods being high and wildly inconsistent.

Of course, since it’s Iranian diaspora on social media bringing attention to this, they’re highlighting occurrences where people are calling for a return of the Shah. Though it’s not every case, either some specifically denouncing Pezeshkian.

I’d like to ask other comrades if they have more information beyond just random social media posts on western platforms, like information about grievances towards Pezeshkian specifically, or later discontent with the government’s economic policies.

    Problem is, the current government of Iran, last I checked, is too neoliberal or had a lot of neoliberal influence.

    I don’t think China’s influence will amount much, not if everyone is still annoyed or agitated by the mistakes that the government makes.
