A massive explosion and fire at the Shahid Rajaei port in southern Iran, believed to be linked to a shipment of missile propellant, kills 8 people and injures around 750 others. The explosion occurred as Iran and the U.S. met for negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program. The port had received a shipment of 'sodium perchlorate rocket fuel' in March, which was intended to replenish Iran's missile stocks. The cause of the explosion is still unknown, but social media footage suggests the involvement of a chemical compound, similar to the Beirut explosion in 2020.
