Partial strikes of Petroleum Industry paralyze several provinces

Partial strikes in Iran's Petroleum Industry and especially in the Petrochemical factories are paralyzing several provincial cities in Iran. The areas, most hit by these strikes, are the Northern and Southern parts of the country where fuel and necessary heating combustibles are missing and are resulting in the formation of long lines in front of the official distribution centers.

The distribution of the low available quantities are often leading to local and sporadic protests and slogans against the regime and many residents are starting to draw an analogy with the strikes which paralyzed Iran's Petroleum Industry and lead to the Islamic revolution of 1979.

It's to note that the strikes are following the controversial decision of the authorities to detach Iran's Petrochemical entities from the country's Petroleum Industry in an effort to privatize this sector. Many Iranians, especially the Petroleum workers, are considering such decision as part of the general policy of looting Iran's National Assets and their transfers to foreign companies or to the ruling political and economical Mafia.
