On Friday, explosions were carried out in Iran’s capital Tehran at around 03:30 local time (01:00 BST).

The Iranian state TV said that residential areas were killed in Tehran, in which the blasts also heard in the north-east of the capital.

In Israel, the residents were awakened by the air raid siren around the same time and received emergency phone alerts.

Israel’s army stated that it had “killed dozens of military goals, including nuclear targets in various areas of Iran”.

A few hours after the initial attacks, according to the Iranian state media, an explosion was reported in the Natanz nuclear facility located 225 km (140 mi) south of the capital.

The IDF later confirmed that it had hit the site and said its attack had caused a lot of damage.

Global Nuclear Watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it was informed by Iranian officials that there was no increase in radiation levels at the Natanz plant.

IAEA head Rafael Gossi stated that nuclear facilities should never be “not attacked” and in such attacks “nuclear security, safety and safety measures as well as regional and international peace and security” are serious implications.

Trump expected to attack a deal to stop Tehran, who developed an atomic weapon. Iran has long stressed that its nuclear activities are peaceful.

Earlier this week, Trump allegedly made a “stressful” phone call with Netanyahu, who has long argued for an army rather than a diplomatic approach to Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Last year, Iran and Israel started many airstrikes against each other In April and October – Although Israel’s attacks last year were not widely considered as its current operation.

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israeli should “estimate a serious punishment”, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described the attack as a “declaration of war”.

The IDF said Iran launched around 100 drones towards Israel on Friday morning. The army said it was stopping the drone.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry stated that its armed forces “will not hesitate to defend Iran’s sovereignty with full force and the way they think appropriate”.

In a statement, the Ministry called Israel’s operation “acts of aggression” and said “the US government, as the primary patron of this regime, will also bear the responsibility”.

Major General Mohammad Pakpour, who was rapidly appointed to change the Hosin salute, vowed to open the “The Gates of Hell” in vengeance.

Reacting to the strike, Trump said he “gave Iran a chance” to make a deal “, but” he simply could not get it “.

Some Iranian officials “spoke bravely, but they did not know what was going to happen,” Trump wrote in a social media post, “They are all dead now.”

“Already there has already been great death and destruction, but still is the time to slaughter, the next already planned attacks come to the end, with even more cruel.

“Iran should make a deal, before nothing left, and once the Iranian Empire was known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more death, just do it, just do it, before it is too late.”

Earlier, US State Secretary Marco Rubio said that America Was not included with attacks No more assistance. He said that the highest priority for the White House was to protect American forces in the region.

American citizens have been asked not to travel to Iran, on Friday the US State Department urged those who are in the country or to “shelter in asylum”.

At the end of Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin made separate phone calls with Netanyahu and Iranian President Masaud Pesashian, said Kremlin.

Putin condemned Israeli works, and “expressed the desire to provide arbitration services to pursue stress”, in a statement.

Russia is a major military and political ally in Iran.

In other international reaction, Oman, who US-Iran is mediation for nuclear dialogueSaid that it blames Israel for “this growth and its consequences”.

The UK, France, Australia and China were among the nations who expressed concern over the growth and called for calm down.

The IDF stated that three Iranian military commanders were “abolished in Israeli attacks across Iran”.

Iran has long maintained that its nuclear program is only for peaceful, civil purposes. It has several facilities around Iran, some of which have been targeted in Israeli attacks.

But many countries – as well as the global nuclear guard, IAEA – are not confident that the program is for civil purposes alone.

This week, Watchdog Board of Governors Iran was formally declared in a violation of its unison For the first time in 20 years.

It cited Iran’s “many failures”, which provides a full answer about undeclared nuclear material and stockpile of Iran’s rich uranium.

Earlier a report by IAEA stated that Iran had enriched uranium in 60% purity, near arms grade, potentially to make nine atomic bombs.
