No evidence of foul play found so far in port explosion

I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families of the victims of the Shahid Rajaee port explosion and wish a swift recovery to the injured. Undoubtedly, such a tragic incident at one of Iran’s largest commercial and transit ports has set off alarm bells.
From what has come to light, and based on available evidence, the explosion appears to have stemmed from a failure to adhere to basic safety protocols—something that officials had already warned about on several occasions regarding operations at Shahid Rajaee port and its various sections.
The devastating event is a wake-up call for those responsible for maintaining safety standards in workplaces and for safeguarding the lives of workers across industrial, commercial, and production sites. A thorough and prompt investigation must be carried out to get to the bottom of the incident, and those found guilty of negligence must be held to account in line with the law to prevent such tragedies from rearing their head again in the future.
