"We had great success tonight. Your Israel is much safer now," President Donald Trump was quoted as saying in a phone call with Axios journalist Barak Ravid.
"A few hours ago, after the activation of Qom's air defense and the identification of hostile targets, part of the area surrounding the Fordow nuclear site came under enemy aerial attack," said the crisis management chief of Qom in central Iran.
Air defense systems were activated earlier today in the cities of Isfahan and Kashan in response to the detection of hostile targets, said Isfahan’s deputy governor for security affairs.
The official confirmed that multiple explosions were heard in both Isfahan and Natanz around the same time.“We witnessed hostile incursions near the nuclear facilities in Isfahan and Natanz."
"Washington must bear the consequences," said Hezam al-Assad, a member of the Political Bureau of Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militia.
"The Islamic Republic had evacuated the three nuclear sites some time ago," Iran's state TV reported after the US announced airstrikes on the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities.
In its first reaction to the US president's announcement of attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, Iran's state TV said, "Trump usually bluffs. The extent of the damage needs to be assessed. The Islamic Republic's nuclear industry cannot be destroyed by bombing."
