Analyzing causes, lessons learned, and prevention strategies for future port safety.
Shahid Rajaee Port Explosion – Technical Review and Reflections
Bandar Abbas, Iran – April 26, 2025
On April 26, a devastating explosion occurred at Shahid Rajaee Port, claiming the lives of more than 70 people and injuring over 1,200. It’s a deeply saddening event that reminds us how fragile life is, families were torn apart, and lives lost in a moment that could have been prevented.
After reviewing the event carefully — frame by frame, analyzing publicly shared videos, and comparing with credible sources, I developed a technical breakdown of the explosion’s causes and recommendations for future prevention. You can view the full analysis in the attached presentation.
Key Observations from the Videos:
People near the fire showed hesitation or confusion, indicating a lack of training or emergency response awareness.
Even as the fire intensified, escape actions were delayed.
The explosion was clearly a confined vapor cloud detonation, likely caused by hazardous chemical storage failures.
This is just the beginning. We will continue to update this technical analysis as more verified information becomes available.
Let’s commit — together — to stronger safety systems, better training, and a culture of prevention.
