🇮🇷 🇮🇷 Iranian Interior Minister: We will announce the cause of the Rajaee Port explosion, whatever it may be, and we will take legal action against those responsible. The port's main systems were not damaged, and customs operations are continuing. We hope to extinguish the fire within the next few hours, and there is a possibility that the number of victims and injured will rise.
Our primary concern at this time is the safety and well-being of those affected by the explosion. Emergency responders and medical teams are working tirelessly to provide aid and assistance to those in need. We have deployed additional resources to the scene to support the relief efforts and ensure that all necessary measures are taken to prevent further incidents.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the explosion occurred in a storage facility containing hazardous materials, but we cannot speculate on the exact cause until a thorough investigation is completed. We will leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of the truth and will take swift and decisive action against anyone found responsible for this incident.
The port's management and security teams are cooperating fully with our investigation, and we are working closely with local authorities to ensure that all necessary protocols are followed. We understand the importance of Rajaee Port to the national economy and are committed to minimizing disruptions to trade and commerce.
We will provide regular updates on the situation as more information becomes available. In the meantime, our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families, and we express our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who are working to respond to this incident.
