Loud explosions were heard in the Iranian capital on Wednesday following news of US-Israeli attacks, according to an Anadolu correspondent.
Densely populated civilian areas in the eastern and western parts of Tehran were targeted in the strikes by US and Israeli warplanes, said the correspondent.
Columns of smoke were seen rising from several locations after the attacks.
The US and Israel have struck Iran since Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
