A massive explosion at the Iranian port of Rajaee has left at least 5 people dead and hundreds more injured. The blast, which occurred on Tuesday, is believed to have been caused by a missile fuel shipment.

The explosion sent a shockwave through the port area, causing widespread destruction and leaving many buildings in ruins. Emergency services rushed to the scene to help the injured and extinguish the fires that broke out as a result of the blast.

Authorities in Iran have been accused of covering up the true death toll from the explosion, with concerns rising about a possible uprising in the wake of the tragedy. Russia has sent help to assist with the recovery efforts in the port.

The incident has sparked fears of further violence in the region, with tensions already running high between Iran and other countries. Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the explosion and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
