US-Israeli strikes hit a uranium processing facility in central Iran, the country's atomic energy organisation said.
"The plant in Ardakan, located in Yazd Province, was targeted minutes ago in an attack by the American-Zionist enemy," it said on its Telegram channel, adding the attack "did not result in the release of any radioactive material."
Earlier in the day, US-Israeli airstrikes also damaged two major steel plants in Iran, Iranian media reports said.
"Minutes ago, the American-Zionist enemy targeted the Khuzestan Steel (in southwest Iran) and Mobarakeh Steel factories in Isfahan (central Iran) in two separate attacks," the Fars news agency said, with state broadcaster IRIB also reporting the strikes.
"Rescue forces have immediately arrived at the scene of the incident," Fars wrote.
The news agency added that initial information suggested an "electrical substation and an alloy steel production line" were targeted at Mobarakeh Steel complex, while a warehouse was hit at the Khuzestan Steel Factory.
Steel is a strategically important material essential for industrial and military production, including of missiles, drones and ships
