Two other people were injured, reported the online portal "Iran Nuances", which is close to the Iranian government. A residential building was hit in the attack.

Ghom is located around 50 kilometers north of the uranium enrichment plant in Fordo. The facility is considered Israel's most important target in the current war.

According to "Iran Nuances", there was also an explosion in the central Iranian city of Isfahan. The air defenses were activated there. No further details were initially known. Isfahan is home to an important nuclear research center.
