The Deputy Governor of Iran's Khuzestan Province denied any reports of attacks on Ahvaz Airport, according to an official statement cited by the Telegram feed. The denial follows earlier unverified reports of an airstrike on a police headquarters in the province.
In a statement late Sunday, the Deputy Governor of Iran's Khuzestan Province denied any reports of attacks on Ahvaz Airport, according to a Telegram feed cited by Israeli media. The denial came hours after unverified reports of explosions and an airstrike in the province, though it explicitly addresses the airport — a location not mentioned in the earlier accounts.
Earlier Sunday, at 02:30 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported three explosions in Ahvaz, with the main road police station reportedly destroyed. Minutes later, an update added reports of explosions in the city of Kangan, followed by a further version specifying an airstrike on the police headquarters. All these reports remain unconfirmed; the source, scale, and casualties are still unclear.
The denial follows a recurring pattern of Iranian official statements refuting reports of attacks on infrastructure. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, the governor of Qeshm Island denied explosions there; on July 9, an Iranian source denied attacks in Tabriz. Each denial was issued by local officials and carried through Iranian media, without independent corroboration.
The deputy governor's denial is a single-source government statement that has not been independently verified. The original reports of explosions and airstrikes remain unconfirmed, and the denial does not address the police headquarters strike. The situation remains ambiguous, with no independent reporting on the ground.
