Two suspects have been arrested in Iran on suspicion of involvement in last week's explosion at Shahid Rajaee Port in the southern city of Bandar Abbas. According to Iranian state television, one is an official in the Iranian government, while the other is from the private sector. The explosion, which claimed the lives of at least 70 people and injured more than a thousand others, led to the establishment of an investigation committee to examine the circumstances of the port incident. Authorities attributed the explosion to 'negligence,' and in recent days the committee reported that false declarations were made regarding the type of goods passing through the port that likely caused the explosion.
