The Palestinian movement emphasized that Iran could overcome this disaster in its wise leadership and resilience country.
The powerful explosion at Shahid Rajaee port in southern Iran has caused extensive damage and casualties, allowing emergency teams to rush to the scene to control the situation.
Home Minister Escandar Momeni said the number of deaths from the explosion has risen to 14.
“Unfortunately, 700-750 people have been injured so far,” he added, noting that 212 of the injured people had undergone outpatient treatment.
The explosion occurred after a fuel tanker exploded on Saturday at Shahid Rajaee port in Hormozgan’s province for unknown reasons.
The injured were moved to Hormozgan Hospital.
The Hormozgan crisis management director said the explosion was very strong, but the cause has not yet been determined.
The first report shows that the blast occurred in the management buildings within the port complex. The explosion was so intense that it completely destroyed the management building and severely damaged many vehicles.
Babak Mahmoudi, head of Iran’s rescue and rescue team, previously confirmed to press television that four people had died in the massive explosion at Shahid Rajaye.
“So far, 516 people have been injured and evacuated from the site. Some of them have been injured with broken glass, most of them being superficially scarred, they have been released and four have been confirmed to have been dead so far on this site.
He said the fire is still ongoing and firefighters are about to put it out and expressing hope that they can control the situation in the coming hours.
