DUBAI (Reuters) – The death toll from a major explosion in Iran’s most important container port of Bandar Abbas has risen to at least 65, the Iranian state media reported on Monday.
Saturday’s blast took place in the Shahid Rajaee section of the port, Iran’s biggest container hub, shattering windows for several kilometers around, tearing metal strips off shipping containers and badly damaging goods inside, state media said.
