The deputy governor of Iran's Khuzestan province confirmed on Tuesday that two areas were struck by American fire — a point in the city of Abadan at 12:55 Jerusalem time, and an area near Mahshahr about five minutes later. Two explosions were heard. No damage or casualty figures were reported. The report follows an earlier, less detailed account from Iranian state media, as The Zioneer reported at 13:57.
The deputy governor of Khuzestan province confirmed Tuesday afternoon that American strikes hit two locations in the province — a target in the city of Abadan at 12:55 Jerusalem time, followed by a strike near the city of Mahshahr at approximately 13:00. Two explosions were reported in the vicinity.
No details on damage or casualties have been provided. The confirmation, relayed via Iranian state-aligned Telegram channels, follows an earlier report from an Iranian official media outlet that mentioned strikes in the same cities but without providing a precise timeline or official attribution. The Zioneer reported the earlier account at 13:57.
The strikes are the latest in a sustained US campaign against Iranian military infrastructure that has been ongoing since last week. Earlier today at 13:05, The Zioneer reported fresh attacks in the Bushehr area, following the Bushehr governor's statement on Sunday that four areas in the province had been struck overnight.
A single verified source supports the deputy governor's statement; further corroboration is pending. The claim remains Developing.
