[Iran] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Contracted workers at Iranian telecommunications factories staged a third consecutive day of protests in Shiraz on April 7, 2025, demanding job security outside the provincial telecommunication company's central office. The demonstration appears contained and peaceful with low severity.

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 for expansion of labor protests to other telecommunications facilities or industrial sectors across Iran
• Track any escalation in protest intensity or government response that could affect broader economic activity in Fars province
