At least four people have been killed and 500 more injured in a massive explosion at a port near the southern Iranian city of Bandar Abbas, state media is reporting.
"The source of this incident was the explosion of several containers stored in the Shahid Rajaee Port wharf area," a crisis management official in the region said.
One analyst firm said it believed the affected containers had contained solid fuel for Iranian missiles.
Shahid Rajaee is Iran's largest commercial port, located on Iran's southern coast close to the Strait of Hormuz, a major shipping channel for oil cargo.

It is located about 20km (12 miles) west of Bandar Abbas, the capital of the Hormozgan province.
