The death toll from a massive explosion at Iran’s Shahid Rajaee port rose to 25, with over 1,100 injured, prompting a state of emergency due to airborne pollutants. The blast, believed to be caused by chemical containers, led to a significant fire that spread in surrounding areas, although most of the fire was contained by Sunday morning. Iranian officials are investigating the incident and have called for enhanced safety protocols at ports to prevent future accidents while also prioritizing the port’s reconstruction and reopening.
