Iran is experiencing a severe economic crisis, marked by a significant decline in the value of its currency and fuel shortages affecting many sectors.
The Iranian rial has dropped to a record low, reaching about 2.3 million per U.S. dollar due to military actions and blockades hindering trade.
Fuel shortages and rising prices impact commercial drivers, particularly affecting taxi, delivery, and truck drivers.
Gas prices in Tehran have doubled for those using over 110 liters per month, following subsidy cuts.
Many taxi drivers in Kerman report they cannot work roughly one-third of the month due to fuel limitations, leading to strikes among drivers for the ride-sharing service Snapp in various cities.
Truckers near the Iraqi border and in Bandar Abbas have also staged strikes, citing unbearable pressures.
The strikes demonstrate growing desperation among drivers, reminiscent of the protests that occurred in January, leading to increased concerns for the regime about potential unrest.
The intensified strikes among transport workers indicate a critical situation in Iran, suggesting that public anger may lead to further action against the government.
