   The careless handling of safety measures at one of the largest ports in   
   the region, that of Bandar Abbas, has led to explosion of chemical   
   material and a huge fire that is still going after 36 hours.   
      
   This will definitely impact the degree of confidence China will have in   
   the future to have the Silk Road pass through Iran.   
      
   A good lesson for the managers involved in the port, but at a great cost   
   to Iranians.   
      
   Some say there's been sabotage, but there are a few survivors who   
   eyewitnessed how the fire started and got worse and worse, and ran away   
   in time before the huge explosion.   
      
   The whole safety design of the port has flaws. The safety measures were   
   likely that of a much smaller sized port. They allowed the port to get   
   larger and larger without adjusting the safety precautions to the new   
   dangers. Now they're a bunch of sorry asses and nothing else.   
      
   It is the best that could happen for enemies of Iran and competitors in   
   the coming Silk Road businesses.   
      
   We'll see how Iran handles the consequences, especially what options   
   they have with China that are still left intact. What a shame.
