According to collected reports by sources affiliated with the Iranian Resistance, October Iran protests were at least 341 recorded protests in 83 cities, with an average of 11 protests a day.

Other protests were held by farmers who held six protests in five cities, livestock farmers held four protests in four cities, defrauded creditors held five protests in four cities, and truck drivers held two gatherings in two cities.
