Abadan (Persian: آبادان; pronounced [ʔɒːbɒːˈdɒːn])[a] is a city in the Central District of Abadan County, Khuzestan province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] The city is in the southwest of the county. It lies on Abadan Island (68 km or 42 mi long, 3–19 km or 2–12 miles wide). The island is bounded in the west by the Arvand waterway and to the east by the Bahmanshir outlet of the Karun River (the Arvand Rood), 53 kilometres (33 mi) from the Persian Gulf,[5] near the Iran–Iraq border. Abadan is 140 km from the provincial capital city of Ahvaz.
