Mourning has turned into anger in Iran after a massive explosion at Shahid Rajaee port killed at least 40 people and injured more than 1,000. Fires continue to rage, and toxic smoke blankets the area, forcing residents to stay indoors. Authorities declared a national day of mourning, but public frustration grows over alleged mishandling of hazardous materials. Speculation links the blast to improperly stored rocket fuel, a claim officials deny. President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered an investigation. Meanwhile, concerns mount over the port’s vital role in Iran’s economy as rescue efforts continue and international condolences pour in. (PC: Getty Images)
