Iran: Truck drivers’ nationwide strike continues for 4th day

Reported by PMOI/MEK 

 

July 26, 2018 – Truckers across Iran are continuing their widespread strike on Thursday for the fourth consecutive day. This includes drivers in the city of Mashhad, Ahvaz, Karaj, Farrokhshahr, Miandoab and Shahr-e Kord, among others.

The Iranian Resistance hails the truck drivers’ nationwide strike and calls on the general public to rise in support.

The new round of the truck drivers’ strike is witnessing at least 85 cities in 25 provinces joining this cross-country movement.

 

 

Truck drivers in various parts of Tehran and the cities of Isfahan, Najaf Abad, Karaj, Bandar Abbas, Saveh, Khaf, Zanjan, Semnan, Shahroud, Shiraz, Kermanshah, Kerman, Zahedan, Malayer, Khorramshahr, Khorramabad, Bojnurd, Yazd, Port Khomeini, Khur Mousa, Abdulkhan and dozens of other cities have truck drivers on strike.

 

 

Authorities in Kermanshah were pressuring truck drivers to end their strike, only to face stiff resistance from them. Intelligence agents and police officers in this city began taking stripping license plates off parked trucks in order to force the drivers to end their strike. The family members of the truck drivers began protesting these illegal measures.

 

 

In Mashhad, the loading terminal station was completely empty and no truck at the scene to deliver any goods.

Videos from various cities are being posted on the internet:

Images and videos of this protest from the cities of Qazvin, Zahedan, Chalus, Farrokhshahr, Isfahan, and Yazd have been posted on the internet.

In Mashhad, truck drivers neglected any deceptive promises provided by regime officials and authorities. Officials were seen selling low-cost tires at the city loading terminal center and resorting to a variety of propaganda measures aimed at discouraging drivers into ending their strike.
