Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on Monday that the labor protests were “rightful,” but warned against “enemy plots", after authorities arrested several teachers and workers last week amid public discontent over the worsening living crisis.
Khamenei expressed his support for the government, saying that it had "important plans" in economic matters, and he called on Iranians, and all state agencies, to help the hardline conservative Ebrahim Raisi’s administration.
