[Iran] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 6, 2025, retirees from Iran's Social Security Organization staged a peaceful protest in Tehran over salary equalization issues and poor living conditions. The demonstration was classified as low severity with no accompanying news coverage.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. A localized retiree protest in Tehran poses minimal immediate risk to Iran's energy infrastructure or regional trade flows.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or spread of labor-related demonstrations across Iran's public sector
• Watch for any expansion beyond retirees to active workers in critical industries like oil and gas
