Iranian truck driver strike disrupts transportation in dozens of cities

A nationwide truck driver strike in Iran has entered its fifth day, reaching across nearly 100 cities and over two dozen provinces as it disrupts transportation routes across the country.

As of Sunday, the strike had stretched into 93 cities and 27 provinces, with drivers protesting the government’s plans to introduce a tiered fuel pricing system that many truckers fear will become unsustainable, according to the National Council of Resistance of Iran, the political wing of dissident group People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran.
