A huge explosion was heard in Tehran on Wednesday morning as the Israeli military said it attacked a centrifuge production site.
The strike came as US officials suggested Donald Trump was considering joining Israel’s attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Mr Trump is considering a range of options, including a possible strike targeting Iran‘s underground Fordow nuclear site, CBS News reported.
Earlier in the day, Mr Trump warned that “our patience is wearing thin,” and called for the Iranian Supreme Leader’s “unconditional surrender”.
Mr Trump said: “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.”
A Washington-based rights group said at least 585 people across Iran were killed in Israeli strikes as the conflict entered a sixth day with both nations trading blows.
Iran has denied allegations that it is secretly developing nuclear weapons, the pretext upon which Israel began striking Iran on Friday morning.
Satellite images show aftermath of 1,400-mile Israeli strike on Iran
Satellite imagery has shown the aftermath of a more than 1,400-mile Israeli missile strike on an airport in Iran.
The attack two days ago was the longest strike since tensions flared up again between Israel and Iran last week.
It is believed the target at Mashhad Hashemi Nejad airport in eastern Iran was a refuelling plane.
Footage from the airport that has recently been published appears to show a destroyed plane, though it is unclear if this was the intended target.
