Israeli strikes in Iran have killed at least 80 people and injured 329, according to Iranian media.
Fars News Agency said the exact death toll will be announced later by official authorities.
Iran announced that Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri, Chief Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami, and other military and civilian figures have been killed in Israeli strikes in Tehran on Friday.
In a related development, the Iranian Mehr News Agency reported this afternoon that several loud blasts were heard in the cities of Kermanshah and Hamadan, western Iran, near the Nojeh Air Base.
Meantime, the Iranian mission at the United Nations has called for an urgent Security Council meeting after Israel conducted airstrikes on some Iranian nuclear sites and civilian areas early on Friday.
According to state-run news agency (IRNA), Iran — in a letter to the UNSC — also called for an UNSC emergency meeting to condemn Israel's attack on nuclear facilities and civilian areas.
Iran’s mission also denounced the Israeli attack as a clear violation of the UN Charter, warning that its dangerous consequences jeopardise regional and international peace and security.
The Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI) announced that the recent Israeli strike on the underground Natanz uranium enrichment facility caused mostly superficial damage, with no radioactive leak detected.
In a statement carried by the official Iranian news agency IRNA, the organisation confirmed that various parts of the Natanz complex were affected by the strike and that investigations are underway to assess the extent of the damage. The statement added that no human casualties have been reported among the site's personnel so far.
The organisation also affirmed that inspections revealed no spread of radioactive or chemical contamination beyond the facility.
Meanwhile, Iran's Ministry of Communications announced temporary nationwide restrictions on internet access in the wake of the Israeli airstrikes.
According to a statement published by the ISNA news agency, the ministry explained that the internet restrictions are temporary and will be lifted once the situation stabilises.
