‘Powerful explosions’ heard in southwestern Iran
TEHRAN, Iran — Several “powerful explosions” are heard in southwestern Iran’s Ahvaz, the daily Shargh reports, on the ninth day of hostilities between the Islamic Republic and Israel.
Ahvaz is the capital of Khuzestan province, which is situated on the Iraqi border and is Iran’s main oil-producing region. The military had previously announced it was striking “military infrastructure” in the southwest.
