A powerful explosion at Shahid Rajaee Port in southern Iran on Saturday killed four and injured over 500, likely caused by a fire at a hazmat storage depot. The blast, felt up to 50 kilometers away, severely damaged port buildings and prompted evacuations, with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian ordering an investigation. This incident coincided with U.S.-Iran high-level talks in Oman, and officials confirmed that the explosion was unrelated to oil facilities in the area.
