According to the state broadcaster IRIB, the explosion occurred in the area designated for the storage of chemicals and sulfur.

The Shahid Rajaee port is one of the largest container facilities in Iran, handling about 70 million tons of cargo per year and housing more than 500,000 square meters of warehouses.
