A significant number of countries expressed their readiness to assist Iran in containing the fire after an explosion hit the Port of Shahid Rajaee in southern Iran on Saturday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday.
"Russia was among the first countries to send the necessary items. I thank Russia and other countries that expressed their readiness," he declared.
On Saturday, a powerful blast rocked the port of Shahid Rajaee in Hormozgan Province after a fuel tanker exploded for reasons still under investigation.
Iranian officials, emergency services, health departments, and crisis management teams are trying to ensure that victims and their families receive the necessary care and that potentially affected facilities are secured and rehabilitated.
Authorities have further reassured the public that an in-depth investigation is underway to establish the cause of the explosion and prevent its recurrence.
