“A fresh strike”
AFP cited Iranian media as saying that Israel carried out a fresh strike on Iran’s underground Fordo nuclear site south of Tehran.
“The aggressor attacked the Fordo nuclear site again,” AFP cited Tasnim news agency. The official said there was no danger to residents in the area, Al Jazeera reported.
The Israeli military claimed Monday it was striking targets in Tehran on the 11th day of the Iran-Israel war, according to AFP.
Iran says more than 400 people have been killed and at least 3,056 others wounded since Israel launched its attack on June 13. In Israel, at least 24 people have been killed in Iranian strikes, according to Al Jazeera.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump said US warplanes used “bunker buster” bombs to target sites in Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz, boasting the strikes had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
