Steel producers and distributors in Tehran on Thursday staged protests in several locations in the Grand Bazaar and surrounding areas, including in the Sabz-e Meidan bazaar. Hundreds of people came to their support.
In the three-hour protest that began at 9:00 am, the protesters carried placards calling on the authorities to meet their demands.
Contraband import of steel from abroad by entities affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has undermined business by local steel producers and distributors.
