<\/strong>Oil and Petrochemical contract workers strike<\/h2>\nMrs. Maryam Rajavi saluted the cattle ranchers and said: The tyrannical regime has suppressed all sectors of society, especially the workers and laborers. Plunderers, the ruling elite\u2019s families, and the IRGC must be forced to meet the legitimate demands of the cattle ranchers.

At the gathering of cattle ranchers in Mashhad (northeast Iran), one of the protesters shouted: “… You (the state) is forcing us to offer the milk for 4,500 rials where a buttle of mineral water is sold for 5,000 rials! What can we do? Give me a cyanide pill to kill myself here. I am not afraid to die; I\u2019ve had it. You\u2019ve made life miserable for people. You\u2019ve ruined our lives; God damn you. Is there anyone (in the state) that has the guts to answer us? We are losing our cattle because of you and for you to live your lives comfortably.\u201d<\/p>\n At the same time, today social security retirees and pensioners in Tehran, Mashhad, Qazvin, and Shush, gathered in front of the social security offices; Retirees from the steel industry in Tehran, Isfahan, and Khuzestan gathered outside the Civil Servants Pension Organization, and IranAir (the Iranian national Airline) retirees in Tehran rallied outside the company headquarters to protest against low wages, unbearable living conditions, and their unanswered demands.
