The US carried out a missile strike on the outskirts of the city of Abadan on Sunday evening local time, according to Iranian media.

There were no casualties as a result of the attack, Valiollah Hayati, a deputy governor for the province, told Iran’s national broadcaster IRIB. Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency also reported the strike, citing the Khuzestan government.
