A massive explosion at Iran’s largest commercial port killed several people and destroyed shiploads of ballistic missile fuel from China, news reports suggest. “A huge blast probably caused by the explosion of chemical materials killed at least 18 people and injured more than 700 on Saturday at Iran’s biggest port, Bandar Abbas,” Reuters reported, citing Iranian regime-run media.
The exploding rocket fuel sent out a huge plume, unleashing a shock wave spanning several miles. “Iran’s official news channels aired footage of a vast black and orange cloud of smoke billowing up above the port in the aftermath of the blast,” the news agency added. “The blast shattered windows within a radius of several kilometres and was heard in Qeshm, an island 26 kilometres (16 miles) south of the port, Iranian media said.”

Watch the video. The scope of the blast is very impressive. Looks like somebody dropped the sodium.

Heard 30 miles away. Iranian authorities said it will take another couple weeks to completely extinguish.

Israeli Intelligence intercepted a message shortly after the explosion. Loosely translated, the message read “Someone set us up the bomb”.

I got this:
ای لعنت!
From google translate ... which gave me this
“o mehercule!” in Latin ... and that translates to “Oh by Hercules!!!” which is far from literal so I have no idea how good their Persian translation might be. OTOH, I get this:
“oh merde!” for their French translation and this:
“¡Oh mierda!” for their Spanish translation, both of which are precisely literal.
