But the strike is spreading to other sectors and truckers are being joined by farmers and taxi-drivers.

More than 11 percent of the country\u2019s generated electricity is wasted before it even reaches consumers, largely due to outdated infrastructure and mismanagement\u2014issues that have become central to Iran\u2019s growing power crisis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"657\" data-end=\"994\">Power outages have become a near-daily experience across Iran. Yet, instead of offering concrete solutions, officials have warned that this pattern is likely to continue in the coming months. Public frustration is growing, but the government\u2019s response remains largely focused on blaming consumers rather than addressing the root causes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"885\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/economy\/irans-electricity-crisis-a-structural-failure-behind-the-blackouts\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iran Regime Reportedly Orders Large Quantities of Missile Fuel from China, Aims to Reinforce Proxy Network<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-319438 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Iran-missile-test-300x170.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Iran-missile-test-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Iran-missile-test-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Iran-missile-test.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">June 6, 2025 \u2014 The Iranian regime has reportedly placed a large order for materials used in ballistic missile production from Chinese suppliers, signaling renewed efforts to reestablish its regional military posture and strengthen its proxy network, according to a Thursday report in The Wall Street Journal.\u00a0Citing sources familiar with the transaction, the report states that Tehran has secured a shipment of ammonium perchlorate, a chemical compound used in the manufacture of solid-fuel missiles.
