Iran Port Explosion’s Death Toll Rises

The death toll from a massive explosion at Iran’s largest shipping port rose to 40 on Sunday, with over 800 people injured, as experts trace the disaster's roots to the port's strategic location near the Strait of Hormuz. Airborne toxic fumes prompted health officials to declare a state of emergency and issue warnings for residents to stay indoors, while officials declared three days of mourning in the province. Firefighters continue to battle containment efforts, with most flames now under control but 20% still burning as of Sunday morning.
