MP questions role of firm linked to Supreme Leader's conglomerate in port blast

The explosion at Rajaei Port occurred in the yard of Sina Company, affiliated with Bonyad Mostazafan, a powerful economic conglomerate controlled by Iran’s Supreme Leader, parliament's National Security Committee member Ali Khezrian said on Sunday.

He questioned what safety improvements had been made since a 2019 incident involving a sunken Indian ship under Sina’s management.

Khezrian said it must be determined how much safety failure at the company contributed to the disaster and why preventive oversight was lacking.
