Hrabar štrajk kamiondžija u Iranu, koji traje već deseti dan, prijeti da će srušiti iransku vladu.
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

Štrajk je započeo 22. svibnja u 25 provincija i 60 gradova diljem Irana. I nije samo štrajk kamionidžija taj koji širi nemire; već su započeli i drugi štrajkovi:
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. pic.twitter.com/W0EAtTnGQw

Osim toga, čini se da su se vozačima kamiona u štrajku pridružili i vozači taksija:
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. #اعتصاب_کامیونداران#اعتصاب_سراسری pic.twitter.com/x19HGgFKRA

Ono što nikoga nije iznenadilo je da mainstream mediji, koji su na sve strane trubili o Obaminom nuklearnom sporazumu s Iranom i koji je podupirao iransku despotsku vlast, ne izvješćuju o štrajku kamiondžija. No, postoji jedna velika organizacija koja je obraćala pažnju:
The Teamsters know what’s happening in #Iran better than the US media. pic.twitter.com/fz6SsDGK3d
