Notably, the fourth day of the protest, May 1, coincided with International Workers\u2019 Day. On that day, participants paid tribute to Iranian laborers, particularly those who lost their lives in the recent tragic explosion in <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/article\/catastrophic-bandar-abbas-port-explosion-deals-severe-blow-to-irans-trade-lifeline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bandar Abbas<\/a>.
