After the massive explosion in the Schahid Radschee port facility in the South iranian province of Hormusgan, the number of victims continues to increase. Staatsmedia reported on Sunday morning of 18 dead and more than 700 injuries. According to a spokesperson for the disaster protection, chemicals have activated the catastrophe in various containers.
A government spokesperson, on the other hand, said, although chemicals have exploded, the exact cause is not yet determined. There were no indications that Iranian opponent Israel is responsible. President Masoud Pezeshkian ordered an investigation and sent his Minister of the Interior Eskandar Momeni to the scene of the fire.
Population called for blood donation
The television showed recordings of a high black-orange cloud of smoke that came across the port. An office building with torn doors and ruins could be seen on further recordings. According to the media reports, bare window stops within a radius of a few kilometers. According to the authorities, the port operation was adopted. Residents of the province of Hormusgan were called for blood donations for the many victims.
Deadly incidents in energy and industrial plants
In recent years, a number of fatal incidents have taken place in the Iranian sectors for energy and industry. Several of these incidents have been attributed to negligence, including refinadades and an explosion in a coal mining. Iran had held his arch -enemy Israel responsible for other incidents. Israel had attacked goals in Iran in connection with his nuclear program. Iran also described an incident of Iranian gas pipelines in February 2024 as an Israeli attack.
Shahid Radschee is the largest container port in the country and is one of the most important port of Bandar Abbas. The port is located on the north bank of the Hormus Street in the Persian Gulf and is one of the most important economic areas in the country because of the strategic location. More than a third of the Iranian Seehandel are treated there.
