Protest rallies are escalating across Iran as people from all walks of life are demanding their rights.
Villagers near the city of Jofair in Khuzestan province, southwest Iran, rallied on Saturday, May 30, and blocked a road, protesting severe water shortages. There are numerous oil and gas companies stationed in nearby areas, yet the locals are forced to live in poor conditions. Residents of these villages say various officials have pledged to resolve this issue many times only to leave and never take any measures. Locals have threatened to completely shut down the oil and gas companies, and the land is estimated to have around 2 billion barrels of oil and many layers of natural gas, able to provide around 6.5 million cubic feet each day.
