		</div><p>Iranian police have used tear gas and fired guns in the air to disperse people gathered near the site of a collapsed 10-storey building where 29 people died, according to reports.</p>
<p>Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency said people insisted on entering the site in the south-western city of Abadan on Friday night, and the gathering turned into a riot.</p>
<p>Police eventually dispersed people from the area.</p>
<p>A video posted online showed a security officer in Abadan yelling “go back” while pointing his weapon directly at a group of people and firing. In other videos, people can be seen and heard chanting “death to dictator” and “Our enemy is here, they lie that it is America”.</p>
<p>It was unclear whether anyone was hurt in the incident.</p>
<p>A tower at the Metropol Building in Abadan that was under construction collapsed on Monday.</p>
<p>Rescue teams pulled three more bodies from the rubble on Saturday, bringing the death toll up to 29.</p>
<p>Thirty-seven people were rescued and three of them were still being treated in a hospital, according to authorities. It was unclear how many more people are buried beneath the rubble.</p>
<p>Authorities have arrested 13 people as part of an investigation into the building’s collapse, including the city’s mayor.</p>
<p>The deadly collapse has raised questions about the safety of similar buildings in the country and underscored an ongoing crisis in Iranian construction projects.</p>
<p>The collapse reminded many of the 2017 fire and collapse of the iconic Plasco building in Tehran that killed 26 people.</p>
<p>Abadan provincial officials have cited “disregard for technical standards” and “overbuilding” during construction, saying negligence caused the collapse.</p>
<p>The building was legally permitted to be a six-storey tower, but four floors had been added during construction.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, state-run media reported on Saturday that two police and a civilian were wounded when two gunmen shot them in Tehran.</p>
<p>It said one officer was in critical condition.</p>
<p>The IRNA report said one of the shooters was arrested.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, a senior member of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard, Col Hassan Sayyad Khodaei, was shot dead outside his home in Tehran by unidentified gunmen on a motorbike.</p>
<p>Gun violence is rare in Iran, where citizens are only allowed to own hunting rifles.</p>
