Hi Hassan,

Let me help you out as what you are reporting is very inspirational.

Freeper's pay attention to what Hassan is courageously trying to report here:

Iran’s economy is collapsing. This will eventually be forcing poor people into disastrous condition.

The Trump administration is pushing its “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran into overdrive with Tuesday’s announcement that the State Department is aiming to cut off all Iranian oil exports by November.

Now, the Iranian rial has lost more than 85 percent of its value against the US dollar in recent months.

Last week Iran faced social unrest and protests, such as truck driver and merchants strike. Today, following calls for a strike on October 14 and widely circulated on social media, the teachers joined the nationwide strike.

The teachers strike will impact more than 21 provinces and 100 education centers in 60 major cities such as Tehran, Karaj, Esfahan, Yazd, Kermanshah, Shiraz, Mashhad, Ilam, Gonabad, Tabriz.

According to the report by PMOI/MEK, the nationwide strike on Sunday were held to protest poor living conditions, problems with their jobs and heavy security measures imposed in their schools.

Students in various cities have announced their support for their teachers on this initiative.

Since anti-government demonstrations erupted throughout Iran in December, strikes have become a popular way for citizens of different walks of life and social classes to protest against the corruption and inefficiency of the Iranian regime.

Teachers demanded "Detained Teachers Must be Freed," "NO to Prison for teachers" "Teachers’ future must be secured.”, "proper jobs and security", "Teachers must rise to end the discrimination and a low monthly salary" and "have their own independent Syndicates and Associations".

The special plain cloth agents of Iran secret service had surrounded the protesting teachers in some cities, but the protesters ignored the pressure and continued with their protest.

In social media, the teachers covered an extended activities with hashtags #Iranstrikes #TeachersStrike which has been supported widely.

The mullahs were shipping 2.5 million barrels per day in April, averaging 1.6 in September, and dropped under 1 last week. Roughly a third of what it was in April.

Oil prices are about 15% higher now, but even so, oil revenue is below half of what it was in April. At the same time, the economy is in recession and the currency is collapsing.

It is the worst financial crisis that the mullah regime has ever faced, and it is coming very quickly.

They are trying to keep their regime in power by increasing taxes, but you can’t squeeze blood from a stone. They are going to have to stop paying lots of bills, and will just be printing rials to pay Iranians, which will only speed the currencies collapse. Lots of goods are going to become scarce.

They have already sold precious national assets for cash, such as selling out Iran’s Caspian Sea oil and gas interests. The bottom line though, is that there is not enough options to keep the regime afloat for long without oil.

Either the regime officials will flee (although who would take them?) or the people will have to pull them out from their palaces.

“the Saudis do hate their guts”

The Saudis have long supported a network of agents with the Arab minority inside Iran, and Iran has long maintained a network of agents within the Shi’ite Minority in Saudi Arabia (and other Gulf Arab States).

Now that push is coming to shove for the Iranian regime, they need to break up the US and Saudi (and Israeli) alliance that they have allied against them. The Saudis are the ones producing most of the oil to enable the boycott of Iranian oil, without exploding prices.

I wonder if the mullah regime had a hand in this conveniently timed Khashoggi affair? The Iranians fund Hamas, and a Hamas guy was one of the sources for this story.

Dear trebb
Hello
As you know social unrest and protests among the country’s truck driver and merchants and teachers have been held in the last few weeks.

U.S. State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert voiced support for the Iranian teachers’ nationwide strike sweeping across the country

Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa pledged the union’s support for Iranian truck drivers who went on strike

Now we need the solidarity statement from organizations unions and association to put more pressure on Iranian regime
it would be grateful if you help us in this regard
Kind Regards
Hassan

The regime stays in power by paying thugs (the Basij) to keep a lid on things. One problem: the Basij are predominantly recruited from unproductive elements of Iranian society. And there's millions of them (with a core of about 600,000 really active). That's a BIG welfare-state that needs to stay financed. If the regime ever stops being able to pay the Basij, they will fall quickly.
