Truck drivers in Iran blocked roads and ports Wednesday as part of their strike action protesting low salaries, high insurance rates, and a possible hike in fuel prices.
The strikes, which began last Thursday in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, one of the country’s main transportation and shipping hubs, have now spread across Iran. The protests are slowly gaining steam, supported by prominent dissident voices, and could morph into more serious protests against the government.
