The Huge Explosion in Iran, in the Shahid Rajaee Port: “At Least 25 Dead and 750 Injured.” The Mystery of the Causes and Hypotheses About a Chinese Freighter
Corriere Della Sera
"It could be an accident, or sabotage. Too early to tell," Jason Brodsky, director of United Against Nuclear Iran, told the Corriere della Sera. He writes: "Of course, even if the more I think about it, the more I remember the news about those Iranian cargo ships that, having left China with missile components, then docked in Bandar Abbas." And he explains: less than a month ago the weekly Newsweek, citing the website “Maritime Executive,” reported that the Iranian cargo ship “Jeyran,” after leaving China, docked in Bandar Abbas. The suspicion is that it was carrying chemical materials used in the production of solid-propellant missiles. According to this report, the ship's cargo included sodium perchlorate, a substance used in the production of ballistic missile fuel, intended to replenish the ayatollahs' dwindle supplies after attacks on Israel. Other experts also share Brodsky's idea.
