Ahvaz: Three people were killed and several others injured early Thursday in a US-Israeli strike near the southwestern city of Ahvaz, according to an Iranian official. Valiollah Hayati, Khuzestan province's deputy governor for security affairs, stated that the strike targeted a location on the outskirts of Ahvaz on Thursday morning.

According to Anadolu Agency, Hayati reported that the attack resulted in three fatalities and numerous injuries. Rescue and medical teams are actively working at the site to assist those affected.

The US military's Central Command previously announced that American forces had initiated additional strikes against Iran. These actions aim to further diminish Iran's capacity to threaten navigation freedom in the Strait of Hormuz.

The strikes took place hours after US President Donald Trump declared that the memorandum of understanding with Iran to end the war was "over" and hinted at the possibility of further strikes against Iran later on Wednesday.
