A massive explosion occurred at Shahid Rajaei Port in southern Iran, resulting in at least four deaths and 516 injuries. The explosion, caused by several containers igniting, led to extensive structural damage, with windows shattered up to several kilometers away. Following the incident, local authorities sent rapid response teams for medical evacuations. The port, crucial for Iran's economy, is currently under investigation by the Interior Ministry. This incident coincides with ongoing nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US in Oman, adding to the complexity of the situation.
The cause of this incident was the explosion of several containers stored in the Shahid Rajaei Port wharf area. We are currently evacuating and transferring the injured to medical centers.
At least four people were said to have died. Iranian state media have issued frequent updates on the number of injured, with the latest reports speaking of 516 wounded.
