Another Middle East port disaster

Post by ZoWie »

Just like in Lebanon, only this time it was apparently missile fuel bound for the military to use on you know who. They seem to have issues with explosive storage in that part of the world.

BBC:
Mourning turns to anger in Iran after massive port explosion kills 40

In Iran, mourning is turning to anger after a huge blast at its largest commercial port killed at least 40 people and injured more than 1,000.

The explosion happened on Saturday morning at Shahid Rajaee port. Many people rushed to hospitals up and down the country to give blood.

A day later, fires are still blazing as a thick black cloud of toxic chemicals hangs over the surrounding area.

People in nearby towns and cities have been told by the health ministry to stay indoors "until further notice" and wear more protective clothes.
