Israeli warplanes have hit the Fordow nuclear facility in Qom, the Shot Telegram channel reports, citing local media.

However, there is no official confirmation of this information.

Tremors with a magnitude of 2.5 were recorded at the nuclear facility where uranium is enriched, the Iranian Seismological Center reported.

They were recorded on June 15 at 23:05 Bulgarian time at a depth of 10 kilometers underground.

There are no reports of casualties. There is no information about any damage to the facility.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on a Telegram channel that they were striking surface-to-surface missile launchers in central Iran.

More than 70 women and children were killed in three Israeli attacks on Iran, said Ismail Baghai, spokesman for the Islamic Republic's Foreign Ministry.

"The Israeli aggressor regime pretends that its attacks are carried out with precision and without attacking residential areas, but the truth is different. "In just three attacks, more than 70 women and children were killed," the diplomat said.

Bagaei noted that 10 children were still under the rubble of a building in Chamran.

Iran fired missiles at Israel and sirens were heard in several areas of the country, the Israeli army said.

“The Israeli Air Force is currently operating to intercept and strike where necessary to eliminate the threat“, said a report in The Times of Israel. Civilians are being asked to take shelter in bomb shelters and remain there until further notice.

US President Donald Trump expressed hope that an agreement would be reached between Israel and Iran, Reuters reported.

At the same time, he acknowledged that the countries “will have to fight” between themselves before they make peace. We'll see what comes of it," the politician said.

Earlier, Trump said that the United States "may get involved" in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. He stressed that the United States is not currently officially involved in hostilities.

Trump noted that he was open to the idea of Russian President Vladimir Putin acting as a mediator. "He's ready. He called me about it. We talked for a long time," the American leader said.
