Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been moved to a secure location within the country amid heightened security measures, Reuters reported citing two regional officials briefed by Tehran.
The sources added to Reuters that Iran was in "constant contact" with Lebanon's Hezbollah and other Iran-allied groups to plan their next steps following Israel's claims that it had assassinated Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a strike on southern Beirut on Friday.
Although Hezbollah did not confirm whether Nasrallah had been killed, a source close to the Lebanese group told AFP on condition of anonymity that contact with Nasrallah had been lost since Friday evening.
Shortly after the Israeli announcement, air-raid sirens rang out in Israeli settlements north of Jerusalem, warning of an exceptionally far-ranging rocket attack from Lebanon.
