Smoke billows after multiple explosions in western Iran
Videos shared online and verified by Al Jazeera, show heavy plumes of smoke rising in the city of Kermanshah.
In one video, thick smoke is seen rising around the Dieselabad area of the western Iranian city after an Israeli strike.
Israel argues its assault on Iran’s top military leaders, uranium enrichment sites and nuclear scientists was necessary to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Iran has always insisted that its nuclear programme is peaceful, and the US and others have assessed that Tehran has not pursued a nuclear weapon since 2003.
