Major Breaking News from inside of Iran...
Watchers of Iran have long waited for the Oil Sector Workers to go on strike. It could quickly cripple the regime.
It is being reported by the ILNA (Iranian Labor News Agency)that approximately 500 oil sector workers have blocked the road between Khoramshahr to Ahvaz. They are reportedly in the second day of their strike.
This stretch of road is reportedly a critical because it most oil products must pass through this area in order to reach other areas of Iran (it is near their oil complex). They are calling on local people to join them in their strike.
Here is the report in Persian (I am told)

Success and safety to the striking oil workers.
Down with Khamenei and Kerry, partners in oppression.
And they're both on the same platform of "It's not your business!"
