The statement, released during the \u201cFree Iran 2025\u201d conference in Paris, expressed strong solidarity with Iranian drivers who have stood firm against harsh working conditions and growing economic pressure. The strike was described as a powerful symbol of Iranian workers\u2019 broader struggle against systemic exploitation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In their joint declaration, Lord Clarke and Lyons stated: <em>\u201cIranian truck drivers, through their courageous resistance in the face of repression, are demanding fair treatment, improved working conditions, and economic justice.

The data reveals a growing dominance of the services sector, a shrinking role for agriculture, and a stagnating industrial sector\u2014signaling deep structural changes in Iran\u2019s economy and labor force. According to the report, the services sector now accounts for 52.7% of total employment in Iran, marking a 0.8 percentage point increase compared to the previous year. In contrast, the agricultural sector\u2019s share has dropped from 14.4% in 2023 to 13.9% in 2024. This decline reflects an ongoing trend of labor migration away from farming and toward less physically demanding, often urban-based work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"885\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/economy\/irans-shifting-labor-market-growth-of-services-decline-in-agriculture-and-industry\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hunger and Hardship: Iran\u2019s Deepening Livelihood Crisis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-331725 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Poverty-in-Iran.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Poverty-in-Iran.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Poverty-in-Iran-150x85.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recent reports from inside Iran paint a grim picture of a nation struggling under the weight of economic collapse, with the crisis hitting hardest in the most basic aspect of daily life: food.
