Protests erupted on 15 July to protest the water shortages and crisis, but quickly were met with police violence and brutality. "Bloody Aban", November 2021 saw further protests due to water shortages but various other protests and strikes also took place due to the worsening economic situation.
In August 2021 Amnesty International noted that brutal forces have been used by the Security Forces to oppress the protesters.[6]

July 2021

Protests broke out on 15 July in Khuzestan due to worsening water shortages during the summer and spread across the country in the following days.
September 2021
From 6–7 September, massive rallies protested the bad economic situation in Iran.[7]
November 2021
By November the number of female demonstrators had heavily increased.[8]
From November 9–27 crowds of 2,000-3,000 Iranians in Isfahan gathered to hold demonstrations against water shortages, which increasingly grew violent over time. On November 27, the Islamic Republic employed large numbers of riot police, arrested at least 67 protesters, and repressed the protests.[9]
February 2022
On February 1, 2022, thousands of teachers across the country performed a one-day strike after three consecutive days of protests.[10] The next day, a policeman was stabbed to death by an unknown attacker. Military officer Hossein Ashtari proposed a new law that would make it easier for police officers to use firearms, prompting worries that such a practice could provide a license to police brutality against civilians.[11]
