It added, “This has resulted in four injuries, and the necessary urgent medical assistance has been provided to them. Updated information will be broadcast as soon as it is received.”

Following the U.S. and Israel joint attack on Iran, the Islamic Republic has fired several missiles at Gulf countries with U.S. bases in retaliation.

The strikes by the U.S. and Israel have seen Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and top members of his regime dead.

American President Donald Trump on Saturday announced that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mr Khamenei, was killed in the airstrikes earlier in the day.
