Officials have identified the likely cause of a devastating and deadly fire that tore through the basement of a Swiss ski resort bar on New Year’s Eve.
The deaths may mark the start of a heavier-handed response by Iran’s theocracy over the demonstrations, which have slowed in the capital, Tehran, but expanded elsewhere.
The actions of bar staff are being scrutinised as authorities seek to determine what caused the inferno that claimed the lives of around 40 people at a luxury Swiss ski resort bar.
