Sadeq said port activities are usually ongoing in containers, bulk and fuel terminals. Only one terminal zone was affected, while the other operating areas were unaffected and fully functional.
The fire team, alongside crisis management authorities, has made great strides by including the flames. Sadeq praised rescuers, firefighters and dock workers for their prompt response.
The affected area is separated to prevent the spread of the fire. Continuous cargo handling activities in safe areas are carried out uninterrupted.
Sadeq emphasized that firefighting operations are under the direct command of the Minister of Home Affairs. She highlighted a strong coordination between the military, police, firefighters and port authorities to fully contain the situation.
The Minister reassured that the overall situation at Shahid Rajaee Port is stable and that all necessary safety and operational measures are in place.
