Eye for Iran | Ep 53 | Truckers' strike: is it the spark that could shift Iran's future?
Update: 2025-05-30
Description
Truckers across Iran are refusing to drive—shutting down ports, blocking highways, and squeezing the economy. But this isn’t just about fuel hikes or wages. It’s a nationwide cry for dignity—and it’s gaining traction fast.
Joining host Negar Mojtahedi on Eye for Iran is Nazanin Afshin-Jam, a prominent human rights activist; Alireza Nader, an Iran analyst and former senior researcher at the RAND Corporation; and Mahdi Ghodsi, an economist with the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies.
Together, they unpack why this strike feels different from previous unrest, how it exposes the vulnerabilities of Iran’s leadership, and whether international actors—from Washington to the diaspora—will respond.
Is this the spark that could shift Iran’s future?
Watch now to understand the growing movement—and what could come next.
