Regime endangering strike going on in Iran:

I am an #Iranian and I approve this message. The #IranStrikes are real. Majority of truck drivers all over #Iran have been on strike for more than a week and other professions are joining gradually. The Iranian currency (Rial) has lost 50% of its value in the last few months ...

Gadfly Persia? @GadflyPersia

The economy of #Iran is in dire condition after decades of her resources being plundered by the regime to finance its anti-West anti-Israel ambitions. And the real impact of US sanctions reinstated has yet to kick in. The I.R. is at its weakest point EVER!

A courageous truck strike in Iran, now in its tenth day, is threatening to bring down the Iranian government.

Iran's normally bustling port in Bushehr seems totally deserted today Day 9 of truckers' nationwide strike. Latest #IranProtests have paralyzed the Iranian economy. After 39 years of suffering ppl want change (Film via MEK activists) #IranProtests #FreeIran2018 #IranRegimeChange pic.twitter.com/ICVAav5aoV

Day 10 of nationwide strike by Iran's truckers. These truck drivers are refusing to deliver loads as #IranProtests persist. Workers are often not paid for months. They now realize there's more to be gained by striking. (Footage from Kavar, May 31 via MEK activists) #FreeIran2018 pic.twitter.com/mAEhmdlHf8

#Breaking, Kangavar, Kermanshah Province, West of Iran: 5/31: 10th day of truck drivers strike. #FreeIran2018 #IranRegimeChange #IranProtests #??????_??????????? #??????_??????_??????????? #??????_??????

The truck strike started on May 22 in 25 provinces and 60 cities across Iran. And it’s not just the truck strike that is spreading unrest; other strikes have already been created:

I have never seen more protests in #Iran than in these recent times. Truck drivers are on strike. Teachers have been already for a long time. Minorities protest. Farmers go to the barricades. There’s tension everywhere. Through social media, protests gain publicity. Instantly.

In addition, it appears that taxi drivers have now joined the truckers in striking:

The nationwide strike of heavy vehicles and truck drivers continued for the 10th consecutive day. In some cities, such as Sanandaj, W #Iran, taxi drivers also went on #Strike in solidarity with the heavy vehicles drivers. #??????_??????????? #??????_??????

To no one’s surprise, the mainstream media, which trumpeted the Obama nuclear deal with Iran which propped up the despotic Iranian government, is not reporting news of the truck strike, but there was one major organization that was paying attention:

The Teamsters know what’s happening in #Iran better than the US media.
