The 2025 Iranian Farmers' Protests refer to a wave of demonstrations by farmers across various regions of Iran including Isfahan, Ahvaz, Natanz, Zarghan, Garmsar, Khuzestan, Rafsanjan, and others, primarily over violations of their water rights (Haq-e Ab), severe water shortages, repeated long-term power outages, and delayed payments by the government to wheat growers. Farmers also demanded attention to a broader set of economic and livelihood concerns.
