Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Iran finally put out a fire at a southern port on Monday, with deaths from the explosion rising to at least 65 people killed.
The satellite images analyzed by the Associated Press also showed the destruction of the explosion, hurting more than 1,000 people. Photos of Planet Labs PBC are more questions raised in the local news report on this site, which raises more questions about the bombings at the Shahid Rajaei port near Bandar Abbas on Saturday.
Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni announced that a fire had erupted, while Homozgen Governor Mohammad Ashouri Taziani gave the death toll.
The port reportedly adopted the chemical composition needed for ballistic missile solid fuel - an incident that authorities denied, although they did not explain the source of the force causing this destruction.
Satellite photos show Saturday's explosion collapsed a building next to the explosion site, which appears to be appearing continuously where other containers once stood. It will also be chopped in only another building in the west.
The force of the explosion can also be seen, and it seems that there are two craters with a size of about 50 meters (165 feet). Other containers nearby appeared to be smashed by explosions and subsequently intense fires.
The fires were still burning on the spot as Iran began its third round of negotiations on its rapidly moving nuclear program.
Authorities still have no explanation for the explosion.
Private security company Ambrey said the port received missile fuel chemistry in March. This is the first report by the Financial Times in January that it is part of ammonium perchlorate shipped from China to China. Chemicals used to make rocket solid propellants will be used to supplement Iran's missile stockpile due to its direct attack on Israel during the Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
Iranian military denies accepting chemical transport.
The explosion of social media footage saw red smoke rising from the fire before the explosion. This shows that like the Beirut port explosion in 2020, the compounds were involved in the explosion.
Later Sunday, Iran's semi-official Irna News Agency quoted Saeed Jafari, CEO of Marine Services, who works in the port, saying the statements about the goods had false statements, which he called "very dangerous."
"The incident occurred after false statements about dangerous goods and was delivered without documents and labels," Jafari said.
Another report from the semi-official ISNA News Agency said there was no report to customs authorities on the cause of the explosion.
Only high-level Iranian authorities, such as its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, can circumvent normal procedures at ports.
