Hundreds Feared Dead, and the Regime’s Deafening Silence
The Blaze at Sina Company Still Burns After Six Days
Deadly Bandar Abbas Explosion – Six days after the catastrophic explosion at Bandar Abbas, flames continue to rise from the ruins of Sina Company—a facility linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The warehouse reportedly stored hazardous materials, and its explosion has become one of the deadliest industrial disasters in Iran’s history. Firefighters still cannot approach the core of the blast site, and the regime has released no official death toll.
Missing Workers, Inaccessible Victims, and Bodies Trapped Under Rubble
Eyewitnesses report that in one neighboring company alone, 50 female employees are missing. Hospitals are overwhelmed with hundreds of severely injured patients. One witness recounts that 23 of 30 women at her workplace were killed—some disfigured beyond recognition, others suffering severe injuries or dismemberment.
Independent estimates put the death toll between 600 and 1,000, but the Iranian regime has downplayed the disaster, officially claiming only 70 deaths. The Ministry of Health has reportedly been banned from releasing the true figures. Many bodies remain buried under debris, while extreme heat from the flames prevents rescue operations.
IRGC-Linked Arms Depot at a Civilian Port
The explosion site, Sina Company, is officially affiliated with the IRGC and is known to supply explosives and weapons to Iran’s military forces. Reports suggest the illegal storage of sodium perchlorate—a highly explosive compound used in ballistic missile fuel—was disguised as ordinary cargo and stored at the civilian dock without proper labeling.
Government Corruption, Media Censorship, and No International Aid
Despite eerie parallels with the 2020 Beirut port explosion, the Iranian government has neither requested international assistance nor allowed independent media coverage. Instead, intelligence and security forces have locked down the city, suppressing information and deterring journalists and rescuers alike.
Eyewitnesses report that even rescue teams have been warned to stay away. The IRGC and affiliated agencies are enforcing a blackout, leaving Bandar Abbas in a state of fear, grief, and silence.
The People Speak: “We Are Victims of Corruption and Negligence”
Angry and heartbroken, the residents of Bandar Abbas blame the regime’s incompetence and deep-rooted corruption. One local expressed the collective grief and rage:
“Death to the oppressor. We poured our tears into the sea. Workers gave their blood to the waves. Wait—let the sea deliver your reckoning.”
