The facilities in central Iran were \u201cpartially damaged\u201d, added Fars, which was Iran\u2019s only news outlet to report the incident. It said an attack also hit the gas pipeline of the Khorramshahr power plant, in the country\u2019s southwest.<\/p>\n

The Israeli army said it \u201ccompleted a wave of extensive strikes targeting production sites\u201d in Iran, without providing information\u00a0on the locations or types of sites it targeted.<\/p>\n

It also said that overnight air attacks had struck ballistic missile storage facilities and various government buildings in Iran, including two IRGC intelligence headquarters and one of Iran\u2019s Ministry of Intelligence in Tehran.<\/p>\n

Iranian media reported that a leading scholar and professor at a science university in Tehran was killed alongside his two children in an attack on his residence north of the capital.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s English-language news channel, Press TV, identified the victim as Saeed Shamaghdari, who taught at the engineering department of the Iran University of Science and Technology.<\/p>\n

Israel had previously attacked several Iranian academics, whom it accused of having links to the development of Iranian weapons.<\/p>\n

The head of Iran\u2019s emergency service, Jafar Miadfar, said 208 children were killed since the war began on February 28. Among them, 168 were from the\u00a0US missile strikes on the girls\u2019 school<\/a> in Minab city at the start of the war. Rights groups say the Minab attack should be investigated as a war crime.<\/p>\n

More than 1,500 civilians have been killed across the country so far, according to the Iranian government.<\/p>\n

Amid ongoing strikes, Iran named Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr as the new secretary of the Supreme National Security Council,\u00a0replacing Ali Larijani, who was assassinated last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Attacks on the Gulf continue<\/p>\n

The attacks come along with signs of a diplomatic channel opening. Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Abass Araghchi has held calls with several countries in the last 24 hours, including Egypt, Pakistan and Oman.<\/p>\n

Qatar\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari told a weekly news conference that diplomacy should be the path forward, but added that Doha was currently not involved in any talks between Iran and the US.<\/p>\n

Al-Ansari said the regional security system in the Gulf had been broken during this war. \u201cIt\u2019s now open to the Iranians after this war to decide how they are going to rebuild the trust that was lost due to their attack on our sovereignty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Senior Iranian officials on Monday denied that Iran held talks with the US, just hours after Trump claimed \u201cvery good and productive conversations\u201d had taken place towards ending the war<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Esmaeil Kowsari, a member of the Iranian parliament\u2019s national security and foreign policy committee, was quoted as saying by the Fars news agency that Iranian officials \u201cneed to think wisely\u201d before entering into any talks with the US.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not the first time they have lied about negotiations,\u201d said Kowsari, who is also a major-general in the military. \u201cTheir nature is to create division so that they can make people sceptical of the authorities and feel that something has been done, when nothing has been done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Al Jazeera\u2019s Tohid Asadi, reporting from Tehran, said it was unclear whether diplomacy would be given a chance.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on what we\u2019re hearing from diplomats and other official sources in Iran, we\u2019re not sure whether a pause would be welcome,\u201d he said. \u201cThey say they want to make sure the country\u2019s long-term security is guaranteed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The US-Israel war on Iran has expanded across the Middle East and led to a spike in oil prices, triggering a global energy crisis.<\/p>\n

The Kuwaiti army said its air defences responded to \u201chostile missile and drone attacks\u201d. Al Jazeera\u2019s Malik Traina, reporting from Kuwait City, said alarms went off 12 to 13 times from midnight until the early morning hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a lot of people were very hopeful or optimistic when they heard President Trump talk about a possible deal,\u201d Traina said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who was hopeful that we would see an immediate decrease in attacks last night just proved that it is not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amazon said on \u2060Monday its Amazon Web Services region in Bahrain has been \u201cdisrupted\u201d, according to the Reuters news agency.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said while on a visit to Australia that a negotiated solution must be found to the conflict in Iran.<\/p>\n
