A powerful explosion rocked Iran’s Shahid Rajaee Port in Bandar Abbas on Saturday, injuring at least 115 people, according to Iranian state media. The blast, caused by multiple container explosions, shattered windows several kilometers away and forced suspension of port operations. Authorities fear fatalities due to the high number of workers present. Social media videos showed a towering plume of smoke and a mushroom cloud. The incident coincides with Iran's third round of nuclear talks with the U.S. in Oman, raising concerns about timing. Emergency teams are evacuating the injured to nearby hospitals as investigations continue.
