Wednesday, December 27, 2023, marks the third day of extraordinary protests in Ardakan, Iran, where residents have taken to the streets in response to severe air pollution. This remarkable demonstration in a single Iranian city highlights the broader issue of worsening living conditions due to environmental degradation.
Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad, and Tabriz, despite historically benefiting from government privileges, are now among the cities facing the harshest living conditions in Iran. This situation serves as a stark reminder that genuine concern for one’s homeland, if not coupled with expertise, wisdom, and environmental justice, can lead to destruction.
