Mourning turns to anger in Iran after massive port explosion kills 40

In Iran, mourning is turning to anger after a huge blast at its largest commercial port killed at least 40 people and injured more than 1,000.
The explosion happened on Saturday morning at Shahid Rajaee port. Many people rushed to hospitals up and down the country to give blood.
A day later, fires are still blazing as a thick black cloud of toxic chemicals hangs over the surrounding area.
People in nearby towns and cities have been told by the health ministry to stay indoors “until further notice” and wear more protective clothes.
In the nearby southern city of Bandar Abbas, home to the Iranian Navy’s main base, all schools and offices were ordered to shut on Sunday to allow authorities to focus on the emergency effort, state TV said.
