History
On July 7, 2016, the Ahwaz Falcons claimed an attack on the second-largest petrochemical complex in the Middle East, in the city of Mahshahr, then threatened the Iranian regime with further military operations targeting sensitive economic and military sites in the Ahwaz region,[1] the group stated that the operation is "a new beginning for fieldwork in the occupied Arab land of Ahvaz", and threatened Iran, warning it "not to continue its crimes against our people and our occupied land of Ahwaz, and we also warn it not to continue its blatant interference in our Arab countries such as Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia".[2]
