[Iran] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 6, 2025, Iranian Air Force personnel reportedly staged a peaceful protest in Kermanshah city over the confiscation of housing cooperative lands. The demonstration was characterized as low-severity and took place in front of the provincial governor's office.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. If confirmed, any supply chain effects would likely be minimal given the peaceful nature and localized scope of the demonstration. Second-order impacts would depend on whether similar grievances spread to other military units or escalate beyond the current housing dispute.

Watch points

• Monitor for similar protests by other Iranian military branches or expansion beyond Kermanshah province
• Watch for any government response that could indicate broader military morale issues or institutional tensions
