After the explosion at the port of Jambarun (Bandar Abbas)a few days ago, which appeared to be a normal explosion, Ahwazi experts doubted the Iranian account that it was an explosion of some chemical materials, and they also warned of the consequences of this severe explosion.

They confirmed at the time that Ahwaz might witness a wave of winds laden with dust and chemicals polluting the air as a result of the sky being clogged with exhaust fumes.
They also warned the elderly, children, and those with chest diseases against leaving their homes until the dust storm subsides, thus preserving their lives.

Only a few days had passed since this explosion when a dust storm occurred, covering the skies of many Ahwazi cities and obscuring horizontal visibility on some roads.

According to the Meteorological Department in occupied Ahwaz, both Abbadan and Muhammarah recorded significant increases in air pollution and very high rates of chest disease.

Ahwazi environmental activists have warned of the extent of the Iranian occupation's recklessness, particularly in the southern Ahwazi ports. This is precisely what happened at the port of Jambaroon( Bandar Abbas). The neglect by the occupation authorities posed a grave danger, claiming the lives of dozens and injuring hundreds of port workers, bringing to mind the Beirut port explosions nearly a year ago.

Regarding the number of port worker injuries, labor organizations confirmed that the Iranian occupation forces do not adhere to safety and security regulations in the workplace, which has led to the deaths of many workers.

Social media circulated video clips of the families of workers at the Jemberon Port rushing to the city's hospital, awaiting the release of their sons who had been injured in the accident.

The organizations added that Iran's political geography ranks last in the list of countries that protect workers' lives in the workplace, due to the lack of the necessary tools to protect workers from workplace hazards

With May 1st and Labor Day approaching, activists have denounced the extremely poor conditions of workers under the Persian occupation and the lack of security and safety in the work environment. Consequently, the lives of workers are now threatened, as happened in the port of Jambarun (Bandar Abbas).

They also called on international labor organizations to intervene and protect them from the neglect of the Persian occupation authorities, which puts their lives in danger day after day.
