The Only Survivor of The Metropol Building In Abadan

The search and rescue operation will continue "until the last body is recovered," Abbaspour said. Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi, who was in Abadan, earlier told the state broadcaster the search was moving slowly and carefully because of the risk of the adjacent buildings collapsing. Dozens of residents had gathered on Abadan's streets Wednesday night, calling for those implicated in the tragedy to be held responsible, according to footage aired on state TV.
