YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAt least 28 people have been killed and more than a thousand injured in an explosion at Iran's biggest port, near the city of Bandar Abbas on the Persian Gulf.
Officials have linked the blast at the port of Shahid Rajaee to poorly stored chemicals - but the government says it's too soon to determine the exact cause. Local rescue crews are still working to extinguish fires at the harbor, which is one of Iran's most important maritime hubs due to its location on the Strait of Hormuz. Moscow has announced it will send additional fire fighting planes to assist local crews.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has offered his condolances to the vicitms' families.
