At least 28 people have been killed and several hundred more injured after an explosion and fire at Iran's largest port, according to state media. The blast, at the Shahid Rajaei container hub near the southern city of Bandar Abbas, happened on Saturday as Iran held a third round of talks with the US in Oman about Tehran's nuclear programme. Shipping containers burned, goods inside were badly damaged and the explosion was so powerful that windows several miles away were shattered, reports said.
