Hezbollah offered its condolences and solidarity with Iran Sunday following the incident at Shahid Rajaee Port in Bandar Abbas, "which resulted in the martyrdom of several individuals and the injury of many others."

"We express our profound solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran, standing firmly by its proud and generous people," Hezbollah said in a statement. 

"We are confident that the Islamic Republic, with its deep faith and strong resolve, is fully capable of overcoming this tragic incident and continuing its blessed journey of progress, development and steadfastness," the statement said. 

A massive explosion ripped through Iran's Shahid Rajaee Port near Bandar Abbas on Saturday, killing at least 25 people and injuring more than 800.

The blast triggered smaller explosions in nearby containers and fires that continued into Sunday.

The Shahid Rajaee Port is one of Iran's most crucial maritime hubs, located on the northern shore of the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway through which one-fifth of global oil output passes.

The area has seen previous incidents, although on a much smaller scale.

In March 2024, a fire at the Aftab oil refinery near Bandar Abbas killed one worker and injured two others during repair operations.

In May 2020, Shahid Rajaee Port faced a major cyberattack that halted shipping traffic and crippled logistics systems, according to a report by The Washington Post.

The report said the attack was carried out by "Israeli operatives", although Iranian officials have never confirmed a link to Israel.
