Medical personnel, assisted by patients' families, were evacuating the facility and relocating patients who had been frightened by the explosions. Initial assessments indicated that patients from the medical center would be transferred to another healthcare facility.
Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences, meanwhile, announced that, following enemy attacks on the city and explosions in areas adjacent to the hospital, the facility “has been temporarily taken out of service to ensure the safety of patients and staff.”
Explosions reported in Chabahar, near Bandar Abbas
Separately, residents of the port city of Chabahar in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, elsewhere in southern Iran, reported hearing several explosions.
The agency also reported that a location near the port city of Bandar Abbas of the Hormozgan Province was targeted in a US attack at approximately 10:45 p.m. local time.
Elsewhere in Hormozgan, residents of Sirik and Qeshm also reported hearing explosions resulting from further American aggression.
According to the Hormozgan Governor-General's Office, a location near Sirik was attacked at 12:55 a.m. local time. The office also said that several locations near Qeshm were struck by enemy projectiles at 12:57 a.m.
Meanwhile, the US Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees the American troops deployed to the West Asia region, announced the launch of a new wave of unprovoked aggression against Iran.
The United States has perpetrated numerous violations against Iranian territory since April 7, when US President Donald Trump announced a unilateral ceasefire in the latest bout of wholesale American-Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic.
The violations continued even after Washington and Tehran signed a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding last month, whose first clause clearly mandates cessation of aggression on all fronts.
The US has also been trying to help vessels evade the maritime route designated by the Islamic Republic for safe and legal passage through the Strait of Hormuz, by seeking to escort trespassing vessels through an illegal passageway.
Iran's Armed Forces have staged uncompromising retaliation in the face of each instance of violation, including those in support of illegal vessel movement in the Strait of Hormuz.
