70 People Summoned in Iran Port Blast Investigation

Iranwire – The Islamic Republic’s authorities have summoned around 70 people in connection with the deadly explosion at Shahid Rajaee Port.

Mojtaba Qahremani, Hormozgan Province’s chief prosecutor, said those summoned are being called in for questioning, arrest, or interviews related to the April 26 blast, which killed 58 people.

Qahremani added that blood money for the victims has been secured and largely paid to families who submitted claims. Other forms of legal compensation are currently being processed.

Compensation has also been completed for 870 insured vehicles damaged in the explosion.

About 1,500 uninsured vehicles have been assessed and registered for potential compensation.

A judicial case has been opened to determine responsibility. Those found guilty will be held accountable based on their degree of fault, Qahramani said.

A committee comprising representatives from the government, judiciary, and Chamber of Commerce is assessing the damage to containers at the port. 

About 1,800 containers have been inspected and submitted to insurance companies for review.
