In Iran, a massive explosion rocked the strategic port city of Bandar Abbas, a key hub for oil exports and shipping routes. Local authorities reported hundreds of injuries and widespread infrastructure damage.
The explosion occurred near a storage area close to the main harbor. While officials have not yet confirmed the cause, initial reports suggest the possibility of a gas leak or an act of sabotage.
Emergency response teams and military units have been deployed, and authorities have launched a full-scale investigation.
The blast has heightened tensions in an already volatile Middle East, as Bandar Abbas is critical for Iran’s economy and naval operations.
