Dubai: Explosions have rung out across Irans capital on Friday morning, amid claims from Israel that it is attacking the country.
People in Tehran awoke to the sound of a blast, which state television acknowledged.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz announced a special situation in Israel after the attack, which Axios reported was carried out by the Israeli Air Force. He said schools would be closed in the country on Friday.
There was no immediate word on what was struck.
Katz said Israelis should expect a missile and drone attack against Israel in the immediate future, according to Axios.

(23,200 posts)Explosions rocked Tehran early Friday morning, and Israels defense minister said his countrys warplanes had carried out an attack on Iran, raising fears of a war between two of the most powerful militaries in the Middle East.
Neither the scale of the attack nor the damage it caused was immediately clear. The strike was expected to prompt swift retaliation from Iran, likely involving a large barrage of ballistic missiles comparable to that Iran fired during similar escalations last year.
