A catastrophic explosion at Shahid Rajaei Port, Iran's largest commercial port, resulted in 25 fatalities and injuries to almost 800 individuals. The incident, attributed to a fire in a chemical storage depot, caused significant destruction and prompted emergency responses. Rescuers surveyed the devastation, with images depicting extensive debris and damage. Hospitals reported a rush of casualties requiring medical attention. This disaster follows a similar tragic incident earlier in the year and coincides with critical diplomatic discussions between Iran and the U.S. regarding nuclear negotiations.
Images from the official news agency IRNA showed rescuers and survivors walking along a wide boulevard carpeted with debris after the blast at Shahid Rajaei.
The explosion probably resulted from a fire that broke out at the hazardous and chemical materials storage depot.
