Dubai: The death toll in a massive explosion at a port in southern Iran rose Sunday to at least 40 people.

Just few hours after the explosion in Bander Abbas, there was another explosion in the not so distant Shahid Rajaee Port in Iran.
There is no confirmation that the explosions are linked, but the coincidence is suspicious.

The port is purportedly linked to an earlier delivery of a chemical ingredient used to make missile propellant. A military spokesman denied the propellant had been imported there, without offering a cause.
