Broad area of activity
The Asaluyeh and Kangan coast, opposite the shared North Dome / South Pars field
Notable history
Seated at Asaluyeh, the fourth district's area is the coast of the gas complex that Iran and Qatar share as one reservoir under two names. That makes it the naval district whose geography is most directly tied to the energy system this module is about: Iran's export pipelines and Qatar's liquefaction trains sit on opposite shores of the same water. Iranian media reported United States strikes at Asaluyeh among the sites hit on 1–2 September 2026, carried here as an Iranian report. Structural record only.
Strengths
Sits on the one stretch of Gulf coast where Iran's and Qatar's energy infrastructure face each other, which gives the district a significance out of proportion to any force it holds.
Limitations
Its own coast is as exposed as the shore it faces. No craft, bases or patterns are recorded.
Related locations

Key events
United States and Iranian exchange of strikes
United States Central Command states it struck Iranian military sites after the IRGC attempted to attack United States troops and commercial shipping in the strait; Iranian media report strikes at Sirik, Konarak, Bandar Abbas, Jask, Asaluyeh, Ahvaz and Qeshm. Iran conducts retaliatory strikes against United States facilities in Jordan, Bahrain and Iraq, and Kuwait reports its air defences engaging drones and missiles.
