    Cliff Notes -At least 40 killed and hundreds injured after explosion at Iran port 

    • At least 40 killed and hundreds injured after explosion at Iran port: An explosion at Iran’s largest port, Shahid Rajaei, has resulted in at least 40 deaths and hundreds of injuries, causing extensive damage to shipping containers and nearby structures.
    • The blast coincided with ongoing nuclear talks between Iran and the US in Oman, raising concerns over potential links to mishandled hazardous materials at the site.
    • Iranian authorities have dismissed claims of military connections to the explosion, attributing false narratives to “enemy psyops” and confirming port activities have resumed in unaffected areas.

    At least 40 killed and hundreds injured after explosion at Iran port 

    At least 40  people have been killed and several hundred more injured after an explosion and fire at Iran’s largest port, according to state media.

    The blast, at the Shahid Rajaei container hub near the southern city of Bandar Abbas, happened on Saturday as Iran held a third round of talks with the US in Oman about Tehran’s nuclear programme.

    Shipping containers burned, goods inside were badly damaged and the explosion was so powerful that windows several miles away were shattered, reports said.

    The blast coincided with ongoing nuclear talks between Iran and the US in Oman, raising concerns over potential links to mishandled hazardous materials at the site.
