A courageous truck strike in Iran, now in its tenth day, is threatening to bring down the Iranian government. The truck strike started on May 22 in 25 provinces and 60 cities across Iran. And it’s not just the truck strike that is spreading unrest; other strikes have already been created: In addition, it appears that taxi drivers have now joined the truckers in striking: To no one’s surprise, the mainstream media, which trumpeted the Obama nuclear deal with Iran which propped up the despotic Iranian government, is not reporting news of the truck strike, but there was one major organization that was paying attention: Poster Comment: Hopefully, posting Farsi tweets won't break our forum... It's reported that over 10,000 truckers are striking. The Iranian people finally realized how much money 0bama gave the Iranian government and they realize their government will just keep screwing them on everything and not share any of that loot.
Day 10 of nationwide strike by Iran's truckers. These truck drivers are refusing to deliver loads as #IranProtests persist. Workers are often not paid for months. They now realize there's more to be gained by striking. (Footage from Kavar, May 31 via MEK activists) #FreeIran2018 pic.twitter.com/mAEhmdlHf8 — M.

Truck drivers are on strike. Teachers have been already for a long time. Minorities protest. Farmers go to the barricades. There’s tension everywhere. Through social media, protests gain publicity. Instantly. pic.twitter.com/W0EAtTnGQw — Natalie Amiri (@NatalieAmiri) May 30, 2018 The nationwide strike of heavy vehicles and truck drivers continued for the 10th consecutive day. In some cities, such as Sanandaj, W #Iran, taxi drivers also went on #Strike in solidarity with the heavy vehicles drivers. #اعتصاب_کامیونداران#اعتصاب_سراسری pic.twitter.com/x19HGgFKRA — IRAN HRM (@IranHrm) May 31, 2018 The Teamsters know what’s happening in #Iran better than the US media. pic.twitter.com/fz6SsDGK3d — Alireza Nader (@AlirezaNader) May 31, 2018

No matter who you are,you can only push people to the point where they begin to realize they have nothing left to lose. That's the same point where YOU begin to lose.
I admit it's a long shot but this is the most serious unrest we've seen since 0bama blew his chance early in his pres'nentcy. There is a major water shortage and ag problems as well. A lot of people are being displaced due to terrible mismanagement of water resources. One of the biggest lakes in the region is disappearing, a major source for irrigation of food crops. And Pompeo is openly accusing the mullahs of looting all the money 0bama gave them. And I think they did. You certainly can't see where they spent it or invested it, certainly nothing for ordinary people. But the citizens know they got the money and they know they spent none of it on the citizens or anything important to them. It is possible that Iran has quietly reached a tipping point like the one that brought Khomeini to power. I saw that the magistrates tried the usual head-cracking and union-busting by goons, starting five days ago. And the protests have just grown larger, like maybe they don't have the manpower or loyal troops to enforce their orders. This is why I think Iran could possibly be at a tipping point. If the end of the regime comes, it will be sudden and probably very violent.

They should get liberal democracy like in Libya to get plenty of water. If they are smart they will go for it and the rains will come.
