Huge explosions were heard in Tehran and other cities, as Iran denied it held talks with the US to end the war.
United States-Israeli attacks have hit several cities across Iran with no sign of de-escalation, even as US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Washington was in talks with Tehran to end the war.
Huge explosions were reported overnight on Tuesday in the Iranian capital, Tehran, while attacks also targeted the cities of Tabriz, Isfahan and Karaj. Iranian media reported on Tuesday that Israeli-US strikes hit two gas facilities and a pipeline, hours after Trump postponed planned attacks on power infrastructure.
“As part of the ongoing attacks carried out by the Zionist and American enemy, the gas administration building and the gas pressure regulation station on Kaveh Street in Isfahan were targeted,” said the Fars news agency.
The facilities in central Iran were “partially damaged”, added Fars, which was Iran’s only news outlet to report the incident. It said an attack also hit the gas pipeline of the Khorramshahr power plant, in the country’s southwest.
“A projectile hit the area outside the Khorramshahr gas pipeline processing station,” Fars reported, quoting the governor of the city bordering Iraq.
