Deputy Governor of Khuzestan, Valiollah Hayati, reported that enemy projectiles hit the Iranian cities of Hendijan, Mahshahr, and Abadan. This development is part of the ongoing conflict between Iran and a coalition led by the United States and Israel, which began earlier this year. The attacks are said to have targeted strategic locations within the Khuzestan province, a critical energy hub due to its vast oil reserves and petrochemical facilities.

The conflict has seen escalating cross-border attacks, with both sides engaging in significant military operations.
