Hundreds of striking workers in Asaluyeh, home to Iran’s most important gas hub and the world’s largest, have been detained in warehouses belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) Khatam al-Anbiya Construction Headquarters. Communication between the detained workers and their families has been cut off for weeks.   

An employee in industries linked to the South Pars gas field told The Media Line that workers across different sectors in Asaluyeh had begun holding gatherings, protests, and strikes weeks before nationwide demonstrations started in Iran.
