A powerful explosion occurred in Iran: the number of victims is increasing (photo, video)

A powerful explosion occurred yesterday, April 26, at the Shahid Rajai port near the southern Iranian city of Bandar Abbas. The country's Tasnim news agency reported this.

According to the latest information, the death toll from the terrible incident has reached 14 people. The number of people injured in the explosion has also exceeded 750. The Iranian Foreign Ministry is expressing concern that these figures may still increase.

It is reported that the explosion was so powerful that the windows of houses and buildings located several kilometers around the port were broken. Rescue services and emergency units continue their work at the scene.

The Iranian government is in no hurry to determine the causes of the explosion and make a statement. However, Ambrey, a well-known private company for assessing the risks of international cargo transportation by sea, has expressed its assumptions. According to him, containers storing components intended for rocket fuel may have exploded at the port.

Meanwhile, Iranian authorities have launched an investigation to determine the causes of the explosion. Investigators say they have not yet reached a clear conclusion about the causes of the incident.

The international community is also expressing its concerns about the incident. Observers are concerned that the explosion could have a negative impact on regional security. It is said that additional information will be provided after the investigation.
