Protests in Iran Increase Ahead of Sham Election On Wednesday, workers of the Thran Jonoob Construction Company in Mahshahr, southwest Iran, continued their strike and protested for the third consecutive day. They started their strike when the company fired many local workers. On Wednesday, workers of Haft Tappeh Sugar Cane Company in southwest Iran held a protest. They have held several protests and strikes in the last few months. These workers demand their water irrigation right to irrigate sugar cane fields. On Tuesday, several snap food deliverers in Laleh Park in Tehran held a protest. They demanded an increase in the cost of travel and delivering foods to closer locations. On Tuesday, families of Bafgh phosphate mine workers in Yazd province, central Iran, held a rally protesting the delayed wages of their husbands.
