Iran rejects sabotage theory over Bandar Abbas blast incident
The Iranian government has ruled out the sabotage theory in the recent explosion at Shahid Rajaee Port, citing human error as the most likely cause, pending final investigation results.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of Wednesday's cabinet meeting, the government spokesperson, Fatemeh Mohajerani, emphasized that there has been no censorship regarding the incident and reaffirmed the administration’s duty to maintain transparency and public accountability.
To avoid conflicting reports on casualties and other details, the spokesperson said it was decided that the Interior Minister or the head of the Crisis Management Organization would provide official updates directly from the site — a move that has already been implemented.
So far, sabotage has been ruled out, with preliminary findings pointing to human error, she said, adding that however, the final determination depends on the completion of the ongoing investigations.
