Footage has emerged of smoke rising near Iran's Ministry of Justice building in Tehran. 

We are still waiting on more information but the scenes come after explosions were reported in Tehran earlier today.

Tasnim news agency reported one blast happened in the Vali-e-Asr Square area in the centre of the city.

Another explosion was heard in the Niroo Havaei neighbourhood, in the east of the city, where the air force headquarters are located.

Another airline has cancelled flights in the region, due to the escalating conflict.

Etihad Airways has cancelled flights between Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv until June 22, it has said today.

"This remains a developing situation, and some disruption and delays may be expected in the coming days," it said in a statement. 

It follows a raft of other airlines that have cancelled flights.

Israeli airline El Al said it is moving its planes out of Israel in anticipation of Iranian attacks on Ben Gurion airport.

Aegean Airlines said it is suspending all flights to and from Tel Aviv.

Emirates Airlines said certain flights were cancelled "due to the current situation".

Although planes were initially unable to fly over some parts of the Middle East, Syria has joined Jordan and Lebanon in reopening airspace today.

According to two sources cited by Reuters news agency in the Gulf, Israel has killed at least 14 nuclear scientists since launching its attack on Iran.

These attacks have included car bombs, they added.

Israel, which has not signed the global nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) and is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons, says it aims to stop Iran from developing atomic weapons.

The International Atomic Energy Agency declared on Thursday Iran is in breach of NPT obligations.

Donald Trump has posted on his social media platform, Truth Social. 

Iran and Israel "should make a deal, and will make a deal", he wrote.

"...just like I got India and Pakistan to make," he added.

"We will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place.

"I do a lot, and never get credit for anything, but that鈥檚 OK, the PEOPLE understand.

"MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST GREAT AGAIN!"

We've got a bit more information on the explosions reported in Tehran a short while ago - see our 13.13 post.

Tasnim news agency reported one blast happened in the Vali-e-Asr Square area in the centre of the city.

Another explosion was heard in the Niroo Havaei neighbourhood, in the east of the city, where the air force headquarters are located.

Following the launch of Iranian missiles towards Israel - see our 14.13 post - the IDF has now cleared residents to leave shelters.

"Following the situational assessment, the Home Front Command published that it is now permitted to leave protected spaces in all areas across the country," the military said.

The IDF said most of the missiles were intercepted and there have been no reports of fallen projectiles.

The country's emergency service, Magen David Adom, said there have been no casualties or injuries following the latest round of air raid sirens.

The conflict between Israel and Iran was once played out in a series of proxy wars.

On Friday morning, it escalated - with blasts in Tehran as Israel carried out a major attack on its nuclear capabilities.

Iran quickly retaliated with a wave of missiles.

Attacks have been exchanged ever since, with explosions reported in both countries just this afternoon.

In the link below, we plot a timeline of how the conflict has unfolded over the past three days...

Air raid sirens are sounding in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, with Israel's military reporting missiles heading towards the country.

Iran's state media says ballistic missiles have been launched at Israel.

Reuters news agency reports an explosion has been heard in Tel Aviv.

This is the first time Iran has fired missiles during the day.

The IDF said: "A short while ago, the IDF identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel.

"Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat. Upon receiving an alert, the public is instructed to enter a protected space and remain there until further notice."

Earlier, Cyprus's president said Iran had asked them to convey "some messages" to Israel.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Beghani has denied Tehran has asked any third country to communicate with Israel.

Christodoulides has spoken to Benjamin Netanyahu today, as well as the leaders of Egypt, the UAE and Greece, his office said.
