00:29with Israeli government also keeping mum despite several unsubstantiated claims pointing accusing fingers to the state of Israel over the fire explosions believed to have been ignited due to the presence of chemical substance apparently used in making missile propellants.
00:45Eyewitness accounts and video indicate chemicals in an area of shipping containers caught fire, setting off a much larger explosion.
00:53The death toll has spiked to 40, with 1,200 others reported injured, according to local media.
01:01It was gathered that a secondary explosion occurred on Sunday at the Shahid Ali Rajai port in Iran and fire broke out.
01:09Pictures made available by Iranian authorities, the Iranian President, Masoud Peshkian could be seen on an aerial tour above the ground level seeing the aftermath of the explosion area in the port of Bandar Abbas.
01:22The President also visited the victims of the hospital, as he was seen in the video sympathizing with some of the victims on the hospital beds.
01:32One of the Iranian members of parliament accused Israel of the explosion at Bandar Abbas port.
01:38Mohammed Siraj, Iranian member of parliament, reacting on the explosion at Bandar Abbas port stated that
01:45The explosion at Bandar Abbas port was not accidental.
01:50There are clear signs of Israeli involvement.
01:53The explosions occurred simultaneously in four different locations.
01:57This indicates the placement of explosives inside the containers.
02:01Flammable chemicals usually ignite in a single spot and do not cause multiple simultaneous explosions in different places.
02:08The containers were, tampered with, in the country of origin, during transport, or by local agents in Iran.
02:16The explosions were likely triggered via satellite or timers and timed to occur when the containers arrived at the port to cause maximum damage.
02:25As on Sunday, Russia President, Vladimir Putin had reportedly sent several firefighters' emergency planes to Iran to help quench the raging fire.
02:34Helicopters and planes could be seen dumping water from the air on the raging fire, which started at the Shahid Rajari port just as Iran and the United States met Saturday in Oman for the third round of negotiations over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program.
02:52The explosion originated in a container at the Shahid Rajari port in Bandar Abbas, according to the state media outlet Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.
03:01Black smoke rises in the sky as vehicles drive on the road after the massive explosion rocked the port near the southern port city of Bandar Abbas and video posted on social media shows damaged buildings filled with smoke.
03:15The cause of the explosion is under investigation, said Medad Hassanzadeh, a crisis management official in the area.
03:23According to Iran's semi-official news agency Tasnam, the explosion was caused by a fuel tank detonating.
03:30However, Iran's state oil company denied that the explosion originated from its oil facilities, stating that the oil plant, storage tanks, and pipelines in the vicinity were unaffected and operational as usual.
03:45Following the blast, photos surfaced online showing windows shattered up to several kilometers away from the port, with a mushroom cloud forming over the area.
03:54The Shahid Rajari port is Iran's primary container terminal, handling approximately 80 million tons of goods annually.
04:03It also hosts oil tankers and chemical plants, and its strategic location in the Strait of Hormuz is critical, as it accounts for about 20% of the world's crude oil shipments, according to local media.
04:15Reuters also reported that cyber attacks on the port's computer systems led to widespread power outages, with U.S. media outlets speculating that Israel, a long-time adversary of Iran, may have been behind the cyber attack.
