Last week, a chemical fire in a shipping container at the Shahid Rajaee port in Bandar Abbas, Iran, led to an explosion that killed at least 70 people and injured over 1,000. Surveillance footage showed the fire starting after a forklift moved into a container, with experts confirming the presence of hazardous chemicals like sodium or ammonium perchlorate. Following the incident, authorities cited safety lapses, initiated DNA tests for victims, and faced criticism for improperly labeled materials that contributed to the disaster.
