The unrest in Iran's oil industry continues as employees of Iranian Offshore Oil Company and Pars Oil and Gas Company have taken to holding protest gatherings on various oil platforms. This comes amidst a wider trend of workers across Iran's sectors protesting against low wages and deteriorating working conditions. However, the protests in the oil industry are particularly significant given the country's reliance on oil exports as a major source of revenue.
