The deputy governor of Iran's Khuzestan province said early Thursday that areas near the city of Abadan were struck by a US missile, describing it as an attack by the 'American terrorist enemy.' No details on casualties or damage were provided. The deputy governor has made similar claims in recent weeks, as The Zioneer has reported.
The deputy governor of Khuzestan province claimed early Thursday that a US missile struck areas near the city of Abadan in southwestern Iran. In a statement, he referred to the attack as carried out by the 'American terrorist enemy.' No details on casualties, damage, or the exact time of the strike were provided.
The claim is the latest in a series of similar statements by the same official. As The Zioneer has reported, the deputy governor previously alleged US strikes on Abadan on July 19, on Ahvaz on July 23, and on Ahvaz and Mahshahr on July 14. These statements have not been independently verified, and the United States has not commented on the specific claims.
The reports come amid a sustained US air campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, which has been ongoing for over a week. As The Zioneer reported on July 22, the strikes have focused on degrading Iranian capabilities along the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, including targets near Bandar Abbas and Bushehr.
The nature of the alleged strike near Abadan — whether a missile, bomb, or other munition — remains unclear based on the single official statement.
