Tehran (dpa)
Iran has confirmed that its nuclear facilities came under attack, shortly after US President Donald Trump announced an attack on three Iranian nuclear sites.
Part of the area around the Fordow nuclear site was damaged by an airstrike, state news agency IRNA reported early on Sunday.
The report cited a spokesman for the crisis team in the affected province of Qom, who said the situation in the area had since returned to calm.
The Fordow uranium enrichment facility is widely believed to be one of Israel's most critical targets in its ongoing conflict with Iran.
Separately, a senior security official in Isfahan province reported explosions in Isfahan and Natanz, according to the Tasnim news agency.
The official confirmed attacks "near" the nuclear facilities in both Isfahan and Natanz.
Trump had said that the United States carried out a "very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan."
