At least 51 miners died due to suffocation from a methane explosion in eastern Iran, with the death toll expected to rise as many may still be trapped.
Rescue operations face significant challenges, requiring rescuers to navigate 2,300 feet diagonally and 820 feet vertically underground to reach the trapped miners.
Authorities are investigating the incident, and President Masoud Pezeshkian has emphasized the importance of examining the safety conditions of mines that are often outdated.
Industrial accidents in Iran are frequent, highlighting the need for improved safety regulations at mining sites, which often use inadequate materials and methods.
