After protests over building collapse, Iran vows to take measures against developers
Iranian officials have vowed to take measures after the death toll of a tower collapse reached 34.
After widespread protests intensified in the wake of a building collapse in southwestern Iran that led to at least 34 deaths, Iranian authorities are vowing to take measures.
The collapse of the building and the resulting deaths sparked anger at government mismanagement and corruption. After the collapse, many warnings by experts and officials came to light about the construction of the tower and how safety protocols were ignored. Iranian parliamentarian Jalil Rashid Koocheh accused the developers of cutting corners and risking the lives of Iranians “for a few extra tomans.”
