TEHRAN- Ahmad Marvi, acting on behalf of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, visited Tabas to assess the current situation following the recent mining disaster and to offer condolences and support to the victims' families.

The Leader's representative reiterated his sympathies to the local officials, stating, “I have been entrusted with delivering the profound sorrow and grief of Ayatollah Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to the families mourning the loss in the Tabas mine.”

During the visit, Marvi outlined his purpose to check on the well-being of the families affected by the tragedy, remarking, “From the outset of this unfortunate incident, the Leader has expressed his condolences and deep sorrow and provided various recommendations to officials across different sectors.” 

“However, recognizing that this was insufficient for the grieving families, he directed me to come to the area on his behalf to once again extend his condolences,” Marvi emphasized.

On September 21, a methane gas leak in Blocks B and C of the Tabas coal mine led to an explosion and the subsequent collapse of the mine's lower tunnels, tragically resulting in the deaths of 51 courageous minors.
