Seems the regime in Iran is afraid to blame outside powers for the huge explosion, possibly to save face for internal politics?
Are they really gonna blame Babak smoking where he shouldn't?

Footage by a worker, showing the immediate aftermath of this morning’s #explosion at the port of #BandarAbbas in Southern #Iran.

We saw this in #Beirut. That orange smoke is very similar to an ammonium nitrate #fertilizer cloud.

"State of Emergency Declared as Huge #Explosion Rocks #Russia’s Vladimir Region"

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/04/22/state-of-emergency-declared-as-huge-explosion-rocks-russias-vladimir-region-a88833

Vladimir Oblast is directly east of #Moscow

Lots of chatter as to cause (you can discard anything the #Russian govt says about it, or anything else really)

It was a very large explosion, probably larger than the 2020 Beirut Explosion

The depot was one of the largest warehouses in the Russian Federation: guided bombs, artillery shells, missiles, etc

All go boom

Today in Labor History April 16, 1947: 581 workers died in Texas City, Texas, on Galveston Bay, in the deadliest industrial disaster in U.S. history. 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate, on board a ship docked in the port of Texas City, detonated and set off a chain reaction of explosions and fires on other ships and nearby oil storage facilities. Thousands were seriously injured. As a result, changes in chemical manufacturing and new regulations for the bagging, handling, and shipping of chemicals were enacted.

They still have no idea what caused the explosion. Four civilians and two firefighters were injured.

My point of view: no violence; stay safe my Greek siblings.

Today In Labor History April 8, 1864: The 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, banning chattel slavery. However, it permitted a continuation of wage slavery and the forced labor of convicts without pay. And on this date in 1911, 128 convict miners, mostly African-Americans jailed for minor offenses, were killed by a massive explosion at the Banner coalmine near Birmingham, Alabama. While the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, which occurred just two weeks earlier, elicited massive public attention and support for the plight of immigrant women working in sweatshop conditions, the Banner explosion garnered almost no public sympathy, probably due to racism and the fact that they were prisoners.

hey what was that boom?

Today in Labor History April 5, 2010: Twenty-nine coal miners were killed in an explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine in West Virginia. In 2015, Former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship was convicted of a misdemeanor for conspiring to willfully violate safety standards and was sentenced to one year in prison. He was found not guilty of charges of securities fraud and making false statements. Investigators also found that the U.S. Department of Labor and its Mine Safety and Health Administration were guilty of failing to act decisively, even after Massey was issued 515 citations for safety violations at the Upper Big Branch mine in 2009, prior to the deadly explosion.

So, the U.S. Dept of Labor, back when the U.S. staffed and funded its regulatory agencies, allowed a murderous boss to get away with 515 safety violations, resulting in the deaths of 29 miners, without any consequences for its bosses. And the courts gave the murderous CEO of Massey Energy a year in a Country Club prison for those same 29 worker deaths. But they’re gonna try Luigi Mangione for first-degree murder and seek the death penalty because he supposedly killed a murderous white-collar crook?

As they say, there is no Justice for the working-class; but there’s plenty of “Just Us” for the wealthy, as in court rulings just for them; subsidies and tax right-offs just for them; elite clubs and resorts just for them; and the right, just for them, to kill their workers and consumers in the pursuit of profits.
