Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ordered a comprehensive investigation on Sunday, April 27, 2025, into a massive explosion at Shahid Rajaee Port in Bandar Abbas that killed at least 40 people and injured 1,242.

According to the port’s customs office, the blast, which occurred on Saturday, likely stemmed from a fire in a hazardous and chemical materials storage depot.

President Masoud Pezeshkian visited the site, where fires continued to burn, expressing support for first responders and promising aid for victims’ families. “We will take care of those who lost loved ones and the injured,” he said. The health ministry advised residents to stay indoors and wear masks due to toxic smoke, while Bandar Abbas schools and offices closed to prioritise emergency efforts.

The explosion, near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, disrupted Iran’s largest commercial port, though Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni reported stabilised operations. Russia is sending aircraft with specialists to assist, and some of the injured were airlifted to Tehran. The cause remains under investigation, with officials urged to examine negligence or intent.
