The Islamic Republic of Iran is suspected of "covering up" the true extent of the devastating explosion that rocked the Shahid Rajaee port in Iran's southern coastal town of Bandar Abbas.
On Tuesday, the death toll reported from Tehran after the explosion had risen to 70, with another 1,200 said to have been injured from the blast. But, according to information from eyewitnesses and the impacts of the blast radius, those figures are expected to be drastically underreported amid concerns of escalating internal unrest, sources have told Fox News Digital.
According to information provided by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the actual death toll from the catastrophic explosion is suspected to be closer to 250, with an estimated 1,500 injured.
"The true death toll is several times higher than officially reported," Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the NCRI, said in a statement. "The IRGC, intelligence forces and other organs of repression have mobilized — not to contain the fires or rescue the wounded — but to control the situation and cover up the shipment of solid fuel for ballistic missiles and the full scale of the disaster."

This will increase public pressure on removing the IRGC.
Rocket Science is tough.
Yeah that was a big explosion. Then there were more so it’s look less like an accident and more like a pre war plan
I watched an Iranian phone video taken a day or so after the explosion. No audio, just this guy walking about a mile from the smoke. He was in a very large parking lot. All the cars had their roof’s smashed almost flat. To do that the pressure front must have been similar to several two-thousand-pound bombs going off simultaneously. If each car in the lot just brought one worker, then the death toll would be at least several hundred just for the people from that one parking lot. Now imagine the number of workers in a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree radius from that smoke. Potentially, thousands of deaths.
Nice!
The more dead Iranians, the better.
Allahwahoo Boombar !
All thet rocket fuel being shipped into Iran from Russia and North Korea..., what could possibly go wrong?
Abdullah,does that sign say No Smucking or No Smoking?
Agree. Not an accident.
Looks like the switchover from liquid fueled to solid fueled nuke missiles isn’t going so good.
Too bad!
I know it is antithetical to poorly educated Moslem’s,
but peace may be a better path!
(Agree. Not an accident.)
Yeah could be... something else...
Devastating explosion 💥💥💥
That never happens, though.
Democrats will head over to bail them out.
