Al Jazeera English Protests, strikes after Iran’s economic situation rapidly deteriorates

Iran says it is seeking dialogue with protest leaders after a third day of unrest, sparked by a record drop in the national currency’s value.
Demonstrations began on Sunday after shopkeepers in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar walked off the job.
University students have joined in on the rallies.
Demonstrations have now spread to several cities across the country with residents angered by the high cost of living.

Trita Parsi is the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.
He says the population doesn’t have faith in the government’s ability to handle the economic crisis.
