[Iran] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Contracted telecommunications workers in Shiraz, Iran staged a peaceful protest on April 6, 2025, marking the second consecutive day of demonstrations outside the provincial telecommunications office over job security concerns.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether labor actions spread to other sectors or regions within Iran's industrial base.

Watch points

• Monitor whether protests expand beyond telecommunications contractors to other industrial sectors in Fars province
• Track any disruptions to telecommunications infrastructure or services that could affect broader commercial operations in the region
