Oil Workers Go On Strike
A mass strike protested the region’s martial law, the detention of political prisoners and relatively low wages. On day one, oil production dropped from 5.3 million to 2 million barrels and forfeited $60 million in revenue — a significant loss for the world’s second-largest oil exporter.
Throughout the next few months, production plunged to 250,000 barrels. That was half the quantity needed to meet Iran’s domestic demand, leaving nothing left for exports.
Other members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries profited from the resulting rise in oil prices.
The decade had been rife with oil trouble. Five years earlier, OPEC leveraged its oil resources in international politics. A series of cuts prompted a quadrupling of oil prices, and Western nations suffered shortages and rationing.
