An adviser to Iran’s supreme leader warned on the 16th that recent attacks in Ahvaz and Iranshahr are part of the same campaign as an earlier strike on a Minab school and that assaults on Iranian security and infrastructure could disrupt regional energy supply chains and pose serious risks to regional energy security. Khuzestan deputy governor said on the 15th that areas around provincial capital Ahvaz were struck in attacks he blamed on US forces, with shells hitting near a local hospital. Sistan-Baluchestan deputy governor confirmed Iranshahr airport was attacked in the early hours of the 9th, and a firefighter was killed.
