A massive explosion at a port in southern Iran kills at least four people and injures over 500. The cause of the blast is not immediately clear, but authorities do not suggest sabotage or a deliberate attack. The port is strategically located along the Strait of Hormuz, a major shipping lane for oil and gas. Israeli officials have not commented on the explosion.
