Why Iran wouldn’t have removed the chemicals from the port is odd, especially in light of the 2020 Beirut port explosion.
More than 200 people were killed and over 6,000 wounded in that incident, which was brought on by the igniting of hundreds of tons of very explosive ammonium nitrate.
Israel did, however, hit Iranian missile installations where solid fuel is produced by Tehran using industrial mixers.
Reddish-colored smoke was seen rising from the fire just before the explosion on Saturday at Shahid Rajaei, according to social media video.
This implies that a chemical substance had a role in the explosion. Shahid Rajaei has previously been the target.
