An Iranian lawmaker said the explosion at Shahid Rajaei Port in Bandar Abbas was caused by human error and poor safety measures, Iranian media reported on Tuesday.
"The recent incident at the port, involving high-risk export and import activities, shows that logistical systems and safety standards must be carefully evaluated before disasters happen," said Habib Ghassemi, a member of parliament’s construction commission, according to Borna News.
He added: "It appears a combination of human error and weak safety procedures, or possibly each on its own, caused this incident."
