This could spark the beginning of the Iranian resistance against the Seyyed regime. With the so called elections next year coming along, the strike will force the hand of different politicians running for the Seyyed Presidency.
What is important for all real Iranians, is that we should show peaceful dignity and unity, against Seyyed violent rule. What they would want is an excuse to enforce undue pressure on the people of Iran.
The people of Iran must show their solidarity with the Bazaar. We must not be enticed to physical confrontation. A national General Strike in alliance with the Bazaaris would present the greatest challenge.
The best solution is for the Seyyeds to face questions like; what would they do if real Iranians threatened to stop work? They couldn't exactly drag 40 million people out of their homes could they.
The beauty of non-violence is that no one is hurted in any way. The natural culture of Iran is against the Seyyeds and it is huge. It is after all the silent majority, and it needs to remind the violent alien, who really rules Iran.
