Israeli source says denial of involvement in Iran port blast is routine

Israel's denial of playing any role in Saturday morning’s explosions in southern Iran is part of the country’s usual and routine practice, an Israeli source told Iran International.

Earlier, the Jewish state's Channel 12 cited Israeli officials as saying the country was not involved in the explosion.

Iran has yet to announce the cause of the explosion which has left over 700 injured and at least five dead, according to official figures.
