Protests had already erupted in Bandar Abbas in the days following the explosion, with citizens blaming negligence in storing hazardous materials and decrying government opacity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2377\" data-end=\"2672\">Even as Khamenei invoked patience, investigations were stalling and official explanations shifting.

He framed Muslim unity as the supreme solution to regional crises: \u201cToday, what is the benefit? Unity of the Islamic Ummah. In my view, there is no benefit greater for the Islamic nation than unity,\u201d he declared. \u201cWhen we are separated, American colonialism in one way, the Zionist regime in another\u2026 impose their interests upon the nations.
