BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 13. All relevant
institutions and bodies of Iran will work tirelessly to fulfill the
legitimate demands of the citizens, the Iranian Parliament Speaker
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in the parliament today, Trend reports.
He emphasized that, in light of the severity of the economic
crisis and the challenging living conditions, Iranian citizens have
legitimate demands. All relevant state institutions must work
diligently to address and fulfill these demands.
Ghalibaf also expressed the need to acknowledge the citizens'
participation in the January 12 protest across Iranian cities,
showing support for the government. Despite the legitimate
grievances voiced, the large-scale mobilization of millions of
Iranians effectively thwarted any foreign interference.
The protests, which began in late December, were primarily
sparked by the sharp depreciation of the national currency, rising
inflation, and other escalating economic difficulties. While
reports of casualties have surfaced, the exact numbers remain
unverified.
On January 12, a rally in support of the government took place
across Iran.
