Iran Protests Erupt Over Economic Issues

In Iran, people are very upset because they feel they are not being paid enough money and the government is taking too much in taxes.

The president, Pezeshkian, spoke in parliament and said he doesn't know how to fix these problems.

He admitted that salaries are low and taxes are high, but he doesn't have a solution for where to get more money to increase salaries.

This has led to many protests across the country.
