Iran bus workers' syndicate slams massacre in Iran, urges unity

Feb 24, 2026, 07:52 GMT+0

An Iranian transit workers’ group called for unity among different factions against the government’s “crackdown and massacre” in a statement on Tuesday.

The Syndicate of Workers of Tehran and Suburbs Bus Company said protecting the lives and livelihoods of workers and their families must be the top priority in the current situation.

It said any major social or political change should begin with defending freedom, equality, living standards, human dignity and workers’ right to independent organization.

The syndicate urged labor, student and women’s organizations to take clear positions and coordinate together so that decades of social struggle are not undermined or exploited.

Trump frustrated with limits of military options against Iran – CBS News

US President Donald Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with constraints on using military force against Iran, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter who spoke to CBS News on Monday.
