According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, the fire has reignited at the port in Bandar Abbas, southern Iran. The report states that while the fire following the explosion was nearly contained, additional containers in the port exploded, causing the fire to flare up again. State media quoted the head of the Iranian Red Crescent stating that the death toll from the explosion has risen to 28. An Iranian Defense Ministry spokesman claimed that 'there was no military cargo at the port where the explosion occurred. Reports published by foreign media outlets on this matter are part of the enemy's psychological operation.'
