Strong explosions hit west Tehran: AFP

Strong explosions shook the west of the Iranian capital on Monday around 4:15 local time (1245 GMT), according to AFP journalists, on the third day of war with Israel and the United States.

At least two explosions, each accompanied by two to three detonations, were heard by AFP journalists in Tehran, though the target of the blasts was unclear. Iranian media outlets Shargh, Ham Mihan and Etemad confirmed the explosions.
