A U.S. projectile hit an agricultural water-pumping station in Mahshahr, in Iran's southwestern Khuzestan Province, early Monday, killing the site's guard and wounding four other people, according to the provincial deputy governor. Iranian state media said emergency and medical teams were monitoring the wounded people's conditions; they did not publish the victims' names or the severity of the injuries. The incident was reported during a renewed U.S. strike wave against Iran, but the U.S. military had not independently addressed this specific site or casualty report at publication time.
