Demonstrators, including retirees, farmers, and oil workers, were the most persistent, showcasing widespread discontent and a general disregard for the political games of the ruling authorities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In July 2024, at least 334 protest actions took place across Iran. The protests were broken down as follows:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Workers: 193 protests (including 123 strikes by oil industry workers and 70 other worker protests)<\/li>\n<li>Retirees: 75 protests<\/li>\n<li>Farmers: 10 protests<\/li>\n<li>Educators: 5 protests<\/li>\n<li>Nurses: 3 protests<\/li>\n<li>Truck drivers: 1 protest<\/li>\n<li>Merchants: 1 protest<\/li>\n<li>Students: 1 protest<\/li>\n<li>Other groups: 45 protests<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Characteristics of the Protests<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During this period, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/anews\/iran-news-wave-of-protests-erupts-across-iran\/\">workers held 71 protests<\/a>, primarily in the oil industry. Various groups, including workers from Ahvaz National Steel Group, National Drilling Company, Arghavan Petrochemical in Ilam, Sina Petrochemical in Chabahar, Fajr Jam Gas Refinery, and several other oil and gas operations across the country organized the protests. These protests were driven by issues such as poor management, low wages, lack of job security, and delays in salary payments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On June 30, 2024, oil industry contract workers at companies like Dasht Abbas and Samin went on strike, demanding higher wages and a 14-days-on, 14-days-off work schedule. They had previously warned that if their demands were not met by the end of June, they would strike. Their key demand was the elimination of contractors, arguing for equal pay and benefits for all oil workers, regardless of their contract type. This strike dubbed the &#8220;14-14 Campaign,&#8221; continued throughout July, affecting over 123 oil and gas companies.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> News:<br \/>Protests Escalate Amidst <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Economic?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Economic<\/a> Hardship and Government Repression<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KNQNt1aAeK\">https:\/\/t.co\/KNQNt1aAeK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1819455879906808296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 2, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Retirees also held 75 protests during this time, focusing on the lack of pension adjustments, unpaid benefits, and low pension amounts.
