0:56Now PlayingWorkers at refineries crucial for Iran's oil and natural gas production protested on Monday over the death of a 22-year-old woman, online videos appeared to show, escalating the crisis faced by Tehran.
Online videos analyzed by The Associated Press showed dozens of workers gathered at the refineries in Asaluyeh, some 925 kilometers (575 miles) south of Tehran, on the Persian Gulf.
The vast complex takes in natural gas from the massive offshore natural gas field that Iran shares with Qatar.
In one video, the gathered workers - some with their faces covered - chant "shameless" and "death to the dictator."
The chants have been features across protests dealing with Amini's death.
The details in the videos correspond with each and to known features of the facility compared against satellite photos taken on Sunday.
The demonstrations in Abadan and Asaluyeh mark the first time the unrest surrounding the death of Mahsa Amini threatened the industry crucial to the coffers of Iran's long-sanctioned theocratic government.
While it remains unclear if other workers will follow, the protests come as demonstrations rage on in cities, towns and villages across Iran over the Sept. 16 death of Amini after her arrest by the country's morality police in Tehran.
