A massive blast rocked Iran’s Shahid Rajaee port in Bandar Abbas on Saturday, killing four and injuring at least 516 people, state media reported. The explosion coincided with the third round of US-Iran nuclear negotiations in Oman. Authorities said several containers at the port exploded, but the exact cause remains unclear. Social media showed smoke clouds, damaged buildings, and chaos. The Israel Defense Forces denied involvement despite the port’s proximity to an IRGC naval base. Officials confirmed the blast did not affect nearby oil facilities. Rescue efforts are ongoing as talks between Iran and the US continue.
