Summary
Iran’s interior minister, Eskandar Momeni, reported that negligence contributed to a massive explosion and fire at Shahid Rajaee port, with the death toll rising to at least 70 and over 1,000 injured. The blast, linked to unregistered cargo, prompted questioning of responsible individuals, while the defense ministry denied claims regarding missile fuel chemicals. Cleanup efforts are ongoing, with significant portions of the port severely affected, and officials estimate it may take one to two weeks for normal operations to resume.
