Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - TEHRAN — The death toll from the massive explosion that rocked Shahid Rajaee Port in southern Iran on Saturday has risen to 25, local sources confirmed on Sunday.

The explosion occurred around 12 p.m. local time (0830 GMT) at the port's container dock area. Initial reports suggest that flammable materials stored near the site contributed to the severity of the blast.
Eyewitness accounts said a minor fire rapidly escalated into a major explosion due to extremely high temperatures, reaching 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), and the accumulation of combustible substances.
