Tehran: Israel retaliated after the October 1 Iranian ballistic missile attacks and carried out airstrikes on the Iranian capital Tehran, Shiraz and Karaj.

According to Israeli media, there is an alleged explosion in an important building related to Iran's security system. It is claimed that the building in which the explosion occurred is in Tehran and more than 10 people have been rescued from this building.

According to Israeli media, Karaj is the city where Iran's nuclear power plants are located, but it is not clear whether the nuclear power plant has been targeted or not. The White House was informed before Israel attacked Iran.

Iranian media claimed sources that no office of the Revolutionary Guards had been targeted in the Israeli attack.

Earlier, Faris News reported an explosion in Tehran that it was also reported at Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran.

Later, the CEO of Imam Khomeini International Airport rejected the reports of an attack on the airport and said that the first-morning flight from the airport would depart as usual and no flight would be canceled.

Calling Iran's attack on Israel a self-defense exercise by Tel Aviv, the White House said that shortly before the attacks on Iran, American President Biden was informed of the possible action.

US National Security Council spokesman Sean Sewitt said that President Biden was told that this military targeting exercise was a self-defense exercise by Israel and that it was in response to Iran's ballistic missile attacks on Israel on October 1.

According to American officials, the US has no role in the Israeli military action against Iran, they are aware of the Israeli attacks on Iran, and are closely monitoring the situation.

It is pertinent to note that hundreds of missiles were fired directly at Israel by Iran on October 1. Later, the Israeli army confirmed that missiles fell on Israeli air bases during Iran's missile attacks on Israel.
