A massive explosion and fire swinging on the Port on Saturday in southern Iran allegedly associated with the shipment of a chemical ingredient used to make a drive rocket, killing eight people and injuring about 750 others.
Helicopters threw out water from the air to a furious fire for hours after the initial explosion, which happened at the Luka Shahid Rajaei just like Iran and USA He met on Saturday in Oman in the third round of the Tehran negotiations, which quickly progresses the nuclear program.

No one in Iran suggested that the explosion was coming from the attack. However, even the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who conducted talks, admitted on Wednesday that “our safety services are on great readiness with regard to the past cases of sabotage and assassinations intended to cause a legitimate answer.”
Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni gave the character of encouraging in an interview on state television. But there were few details about what aroused the flames outside the Bandar Abbas, which burned on Saturday night, which is why other containers were allegedly exploded.
Security company says Port has received chemical for rocket fuel
In March, Luka took over the shipment “sodium perclails of rocket fuel”, said the private safety company Ambrey. The fuel is part of the shipment from China for two vessels to Iran, who first reported the Financial Times in January. The fuel will be used to complement Iranian missile stocks, which were spent by direct attacks on Israel during the war with Hamas in Gauze strip.

“The fire was reportedly the result of irregular handling of a solid fuel consignment for use in Iranian ballistic rockets,” Ambery said.
The monitoring of the shipping of the ship analyzed by Associated Press has set one of the vessels believed to carry a chemical nearby in March, as Ambry said. Iran did not acknowledge taking the shipment. The Iranian mission in the United Nations did not respond to the request for a comment on Saturday.
It is unclear why Iran would not move the chemicals from the port, especially after the explosion of the Beirut 2020 Luke. This explosion, caused by burning hundreds of tons of highly explosive ammonium nitrate, killed more than 200 people and injured more than 6,000 others. However, Israel aimed at Iranian missile places where Tehran uses industrial mixers to create solid fuel.
Social networks on Saturday in Shahida Rajaei have seen smoke from a reddish color rising from the fire just before the detonation. This suggests that the chemical compound that is involved in the explosion – as in the explosion in Beirut.
“Return back! Tell the gas (truck) to go!” In one video he yelled just before the explosion. “Tell him to go, he’ll be split! Oh, God, this is blowing! Everyone evacuates! Return!”
On Saturday night, the Irna State News Agency said that the Iranus Customs Administration blamed the “stock of dangerous goods and chemical materials stored in the port area” for the explosion, without elaboration.
The air shot published by the Iranian media after the explosion showed that the Fire were burned at several locations in the port, and the authorities later warned of air pollution from chemicals such as ammonia, sulfur -soxide and nitrogen dioxide in the air. Schools in Bandar Abbas will be closed on Sunday.

Shahid Rajaei was the target before. Cyberattack of 2020 touched by Israel aimed at Luke. He came after Israel said he had prevented Cyber -spaper aiming for his aquatic infrastructure, which he attributed to in Iran. Israeli officials did not respond to the commentary requests regarding the explosion on Saturday.
Videos on social media showed black smoke after the explosion. Others showed a glass blow of miles, or miles, far from the epicenter of the explosion. State media shots showed injured crowds in at least one hospital, and ambulances arrived while medical players rushed to one person on the carrier.
