Explosions heard in Iranian capital: AFP

A series of strong explosions were heard on Monday in the Iranian capital, an AFP journalist said, as the war with the United States and Israel raged for its fourth week.

It was not immediately clear what was targeted, but the blasts were felt in central Tehran, rattling the windows of buildings in the area, the journalist said.
