A methane gas leak led to a deadly explosion in a coal mine in Tabas, claiming the lives of at least 30 workers and injuring 17 others.
Iran's new President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed that he ordered rescue efforts for the trapped miners and initiated an investigation following the explosion.
Lax safety standards have been linked to numerous mining accidents in Iran, raising concerns about the mining industry's overall safety measures.
This explosion comes as part of a troubling trend; previous incidents have resulted in the deaths of 11, 20, and 42 workers in different years.
