Iran protests break out across the country amid skyrocketing food prices

Protests broke out in Iran Thursday after the government cut subsidies for food, sending prices through the roof as authorities brace for more unrest in the following weeks.

But talks to revive Iran's tattered nuclear deal with world powers has remained deadlocked. Iranian families have seen their purchasing power rapidly diminish.

Iranian state media has not publicly addressed the protests, but they have been covered by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, an opposition group. Footage shared by the NCRI shows protesters setting fire to a Basij military base in Jooneghan, a city in the Central District of Jooneghan county.
