Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has stressed the necessity to provide urgent aid to the workers affected by the devastating explosion at a coal mine in northeastern Iran.
The mine blast in northeastern Iran that left dozens of miners dead and wounded on Saturday night could have happened without so many casualties if the US-led Western sanctions had not barred Iran from purchasing up-to-date alarm systems, an official says.
An Iranian official says besides international conferences, Iran’s mining sector needs to work on its imperfect infrastructure and data systems to attract international investors.
Iran and Germany plan to hold a major economic conference in Berlin on April 8, Executive Director of the Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO) Mehdi Karbasyan said.
