Tehran: Explosions rocked the area near Iran’s sensitive Fordow nuclear facility early Monday (June 16) as the Israel-Iran conflict entered its fourth day. The blasts, powerful enough to trigger a minor earthquake, came amid a barrage of Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and energy infrastructure.

Israel has reportedly carried out a pre-emptive strike targeting sites in Iran, according to Israeli media outlet Channel 12. The attack comes amid heightened regional tensions, with Al Jazeera reporting loud explosions in Tehran shortly after the strike. Axios also confirmed that air raid sirens were heard across multiple locations in Israel.
This development comes during a period of intense violence between the two countries.
Israel launched an expanded assault on Iran on Sunday, with direct strikes targeting its energy industry and Defense Ministry headquarters, while Tehran unleashed a fresh barrage of missiles blamed for the deaths of four people.
