There was a massive explosion today at a port in Iran that happened right next to the headquarters of Iran’s naval forces and it completely rocked the port, injuring near 750 people and killing around 8.
The word is that the explosion had to do with Chinese-made missiles.

It’s still burning as of an hour ago or so…
Some are speculating that the containers contained a chemical that’s used in ballistic missiles and that’s why the explosion was so large.
And of course, many believe it was Israel who bombed the port. I can assure you they will never take credit for it but I think they are the likely attacker, and more power to them.
UPDATE: I misread this when I initially posted it. I mistook Iran for Iraq. I’ve now corrected it. To be clear, the explosions happened in Iran and it may very well have been accidental.
