A massive explosion at Iran's vital Shahid Rajaei port has claimed 46 lives, prompting further scrutiny as uncertainty shrouds the incident's cause.
Iranian state media confirmed the rising death toll two days post-blast, amid ongoing Iran-U.S. nuclear discussions. Over 1,000 individuals were injured in the explosion, where suspicions linger over ammonium perchlorate cargo, reportedly destined for Iran's missile replenishment.
Private security and news agencies reported misstatements over the blast's cargo, linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard potentially bypassing standard procedures. As discussions on the blast's cause and accountability continue, officials have yet to clarify the root of the deadly incident.
